Can he bring this consistently? If so, imagine that with Ward next to him for defense, or a guy like King or Kunc for offense. I would have loved the other St Bonnie wing, for his defense and 37% 3P shooting, but perhaps Holmes can also be another shooter with AJG

Last year his 3 pt % went down, FT shooting went up which is a major positive, TO’s were a problem
His usage also went up. His 3P shooting in Feb and March was 35% if i recall correctly
Despite the decrease in 3P shooting, his eFG was like Enaruna's and better than all but Conditt. Against weaker competition obviously.
Assuming this is about Who/Swarthemore/FinalFour...I can't think of the comparison to the tone of his posts....the blob?
Pointing out a strawman isn't an insult.
By the way, do you recall your disagreements with people saying finishing 7th was possible?
If the wingspan on Williams is accurate we can play he and Gabe, Holmes and Green(if he comes)together for long stretches.
Usually passing to the big on the screen in roll is a great play but passing to Bob who was 50% on layups and 29% from the line was a bad basketball play last season.
Bob was great at it at the end of the year though. That action literally got us back in the game after being down 29-4 in Waco.
Also had big plays against K State diving to the rim.
I agree with you to a point, but there were times I was watching and Tristen would dive to the basket and be open. Seemed our guards were pre-programmed to just pass it around the horn when the first offensive set of a possession was happening.
For some reason a lot of our offensive sets worked better against Baylor than most teams.
Unless big 12 takes a step back we also need to accept fact that even if we are top 25 or tournament caliber, the AP poll won’t rank more than 4-5 teams and the tourney won’t allow more than 6.
No real reward for having such a deep league other than maybe sharpening the steel for the top teams that get good tourney seeds. It’s not like the media pops wood about it the way they do with SEC football dominance.
The entire conference was top 66 in Kenpom and similar in other computer models. That’s an unprecedented % of quality unless someone can show me something I’m unaware of.
Ward is a more versatile defender.
I liked the lob / floater lane skills he showed in that clip. He seems like a nice backup guard to bring off the bench along with Grill and E King.
I think his game looks a lot like Talen Horton-Tucker without the freakish athleticism.
THT didn’t have freakish athleticism, but rather freakish reach and wingspan. His vertical was 34.5 at the combine?
