Nixon is to point guard play what Jeff Beverly was to whatever terrible flavor ball he played while he was here.

It's unfortunate that shooting is a major part of basketball especially as an off guard.
I think Prohm said on pre game that Nixon actually makes them in practice. Not that that means anything.
Then he needs to concentrate on those things and stop shooting unless it is basically a layup or maybe something like an open corner three-pointer.
I think our best five (so far) is probably this...
Haliburton
Bolton
Grill
Conditt
Young
...though I do not think that lineup has actually ever logged a minute together.
It is, but not the only thing.
No one on this team is shooting well. That’s likely to continue. Nixon and others need to work on shot selection
Grill was going hammer time with the left if he didn't get tripped. Damn
He's 2/5. I'm fine with him taking spot up 3s like he just did.
There's posters saying they hate a kid for shooting 40% from 3 in a game.
There we go -- that is what we need from Nixon.
Hit open threes in rhythm to keep the defense honest and make point blank stuff -- and otherwise just do what you do on defense and moving the ball.
Otherwise... I don't want him taking it. He should not be creating.
