GuiltyThere's like 10-15 guys on this board that you can tell can't stop speculating about the new roster and getting excited.
Damn... I feel like there is some insider knowledge of even worse chemistry than I had imagined...I nominate myself as the most pumped up fan for next years team. Next years team is the new players MINUS players that are gone.
All fans are excited about the 1st half of that equation.............
It really can't be understated just how bad the trio of Sanders, Williams, and Freeman were at shooting threes. I'd actually be shocked if there were another set of three teammates anywhere in any year that shot under 21% on at least 200 combined attempts.

Fig, I seriously doubt that you are the most pumped up fan going into the coming season. That just isn't you. You are usually Mr. Doubt as the guy who needs to see things first.

Corey wasn't great, but Deshawn... 5 of 32! He hit 1 more three the previous year on exactly half the attempts, going 6 for 16.
The bigger issue to our offense is what Freeman shot from 2. 62-156 39.7% in B1G play, 41.5% overall.
Geo and Doucoure were also sub-40% which has to change. But at least they were freshman... Freeman was a 5th-year senior.

My hope/expectation that the low FG% is more a function of not getting high percentage shots. better ball movement would fix some of it.
In his career Issa is 28-104 26.9% from 3 in conference play

That could be it, but in no way can you logically infer one thing from the other and say it "clearly points to..."Interesting stat. Clearly points to Issa’s low release point and overall time it took him to get his shot off. He needs too much space.

Yeah, that's one of the areas where Issa made the biggest jump from freshman to sophomore year.
Conference totals:
Fr: 7-38 (.184)
So: 21-65 (.323)
While taking approximately the same number of shots per minute played in both seasons.
There's not.
FIG just had a weird hatred for everything Corey' Sanders and he still hasn't let it go.
I didn't think his game offensively translated to success (and I think i supported my thoughts with statistics). Not sure how that means I hate him?
I could seriously shoot that with my off hand. That's embarrassingly bad especially in the modern era with so much emphasis on the 3 point shot. The depth and upgrade in shooting talent is going to surprise some people. Even true freshman should be able to hit about 30% if they are "shooters" while adjusting to B1G b-ballIt really can't be understated just how bad the trio of Sanders, Williams, and Freeman were at shooting threes. I'd actually be shocked if there were another set of three teammates anywhere in any year that shot under 21% on at least 200 combined attempts.
Because you almost always focused on Sanders and ignored the fact that basically the whole team across the board was offensively challenged in some way.
But I digress.
I'm pumped for next season because of the additions and matutirity of the returning players.
In Sanders defense the players he could kick it to couldn't shoot open jumpers let alone create and get to the rim. I wonder if we would see a different Sanders if he was surrounded by talent or if that's just the only way he plays periodBecause you almost always focused on Sanders and ignored the fact that basically the whole team across the board was offensively challenged in some way.

Again disagreement doesn't mean hate.
His sophomore year when he wasn't scoring early in the season I was defending him saying he wasn't forcing things VS zone
I have also have been vocal about his impact on the defensive end.
Offensively I think we are better without him, but that doesn't mean i hate him. I am in the belief that you cant win with a guard that can't shoot from 3 and rarely passes when penetrating. Doesn't mean I hate him.
....and yes from a chemistry standpoint we are better without him.
He took 39 in 295 minutes as a frosh or 5.29 per 40 minutes
He took 65 in 524 minutes as a soph or or 4.96 per 40 minues
I can't wait for next season. We could be a 20 loss team, we could be a 20 win team. There's no way to predict what will happen.
I think he’d have been more efficient since he’d be asked to do what he can do well.In Sanders defense the players he could kick it to couldn't shoot open jumpers let alone create and get to the rim. I wonder if we would see a different Sanders if he was surrounded by talent or if that's just the only way he plays period
