Apparently the "hitch" in his shot release was due to injury. If you go back and watch his shot in HS highlight tapes, it is much smoother.
So, you're calling this tall Cyclone a slut?I know he had recent shoulder surgery but he is one of our highest ranked recruits currently on roster. Where do people anticipate him sitting in the rotation this season? If he can manage 35-39% from three I can see him getting significant minutes at the 2 or even to spell DJ when he comes out.
We were playing a not very good NWB in spot minutes a lot of games last year. If Jacolby couldn't at least push him for those minutes, he was a long way from being a solid rotation guy for a B12 team. Given the info we currently have on him, I don't think anyone is wrong for not expecting much this season.
I hope I'm eating crow next spring.
NWB was one of the most talented guys on the team last year, that's why he got minutes. People said the same thing about guys like Burton, Nader, and Naz Long among other too. You can't put too much stock on guys who aren't comfortable yet and playing behind proven starters.
You're also someone who didn't understand why Matt Thomas as playing for a few years, but then you sure didn't mind him when he was playing up to his talent level.
I was always high on Matt Thomas and was right, so you're flat out wrong on that.
NWB was bad alot of the time last year, and Jacolby didn't even sniff taking minutes from him, so he had a long way to go. I knew someone would be a douche about what I wrote, and I'm not surprised it was you.

There is a large spectrum between flat out bad and POYHmm, I was unaware that I was breaking news with my hot takes. We'll agree to disagree.
Nick Weiler Babb and Jacolby Long - Co B12 POYs 2017-2018.

Jakolby.
Isn't Long the kid that when interviewed in high school was more excited about playing defense than scoring?

Wut?Well aren't we assuming they'll improve this year? I think you know where I think he fell for a large part of last year within that spectrum. If you have further questions, let me know.
This guy thinks Long will play some decent minutes this season. Can't say I disagree with him.
