Shout out to Nigel Johnson...check out his stats since missing the 1 game..

Great stuff for the kid. He is a player going forward. If the team can land someone that can contribute on rebounding next year, the team has great potential. With a good recording, they can land some solid 2018 recruits.
 
I think he has the best stroke on the team. Not sure why everyone crapped on the mechanics of his shot all year. I mean he's not klay or Allan Houston but I'd have rather have him shooting 3's than Mike Williams.
 
Thank you for posting this. Watching Nigel at the beginning of the season, I thought, "damn, this kid can play." For whatever reason, he faded as the season wore on, but he was awfully good in those last few games. Perhaps the number 1 reason for optimism next year. Everyone says this team needs a shooter. Maybe they have one.

The thing is, we need 4 shooters.

The team needs multiple shooters to successfully compete against opponents who already have shooters at most positions.Johnson has the best stroke 3 point shooting on the current squad.

Everyone is feeling negative this morning. Rutgers is not going to magically have 4 pure jump shooters next year. My point is that if Nigel had played like that all season, Rutgers would have won more games. A reason for optimism.

Corey will be back...and for the umpteenth time: He needs to work on his shooting starting today through the opening of practice. He should be able to keep the D honest by draining mid range J's / threes...passing off to Niguel / Deshawn / then faking the pass, and BLOWING by his defender to drive to the basket using his L hand as well as his right (while increasing his FT % to > 75%).

not sure if you saw it but Corey actually did go left one time the other night..think he's hearing the message.

Good.

When he can drive American / Euro style (left / ride sides) equally, he will become EXREMELY dangerous. Think he was measured in a half court metric this year, and his numbers were if not the fastest, damn close to it. Perhaps someone can repost / comment on this.

I LOVE Corey...and I'm THRILLED that it seems like he'll be back. Couple that will Freeman, Williams, Johnson and Baker (coming in) along with Thiam become stronger physically / more of a 3 point specialist / threat....

Wondering who CP will be bringing in (grad transfer) or frosh....to help open the "O": up. We can't be a two dimensional team (Rebounding / D)....we need to play the complete game for 40 minutes...or longer if OT!
