We were talking hoops, you never said only college. You make a point, are proven wrong, then come back and move the goalposts after the fact. I’m just trying to point out the coach knows better than you if it’s ok to let Hubbard have the green light. He sees them in practice, is around them everyday. Sure he can have an off night and we lose, but the way Jans looks at it we will lose if he doesn’t take the shots. We aren’t exactly loaded with offensive wizards, Hubbard has to cook.

That’s neat. Of course Daryl Wilson wasn’t allowed to take those shots because he played in a time where you could get 3 points for shooting from 19’9” from the rim. The line has moved twice since then, yet percentages have continued to increase due to changes in how the game is played and practiced. Daryl Wilson was also a spot up shooter if there ever was one, as good as he was. He wasn’t ever taking anyone off dribble then stepping back to create space for himself.
Williams also coached in a time where guys like Erick Dampier were drafted 13th overall, whereas today he’d be playing in Europe. The game has gone through astronomical changes since Williams was a coach….analytics and what not.
And also, Harvey’s is trash.
You nailed it. Dontae hadn't crossed my mind. Yep, both of those guys could win games for you that you shouldn't, but never played consistently that good. Both have the threat to beat you when they get ready though.
BTW it really doesn't matter how good those players on other teams are. What matters is how does Jans coach OUR talent? Hubbard is our best player.
If I'm coaching our team, I'd run my offense through Hubbard and get him as many looks as possible while the other guys get rebounds. Sooner or later Tolu will be open.
Here’s how I look at it. He’s averaging approximately 14points per gam, if he’s not shooting and hitting his averages where losing more games since there is t another shooter on the team of his caliber. Until we find another shooter I’ll take his 35% all day. FYI he also will drive the lane, pull up and take short jumpers in addition not afraid to drive even as small as he his. Finally he’s a true freshman, nothing put up side with him.
Yet another couple of HuntDawg takes that have aged like microwaved dog śhit.
Actually this is the worst take in history. I sure do see Kentucky running Shepard off screens… and his game sure reminds me of Shane power.
even heard the announcer say there is not a better shooter in this league than Shepard
Dumbas
also saw cal chew him out for taking a heat check 30 footer. Guess he doenst know what good offense is either right?

Lol. Sheppard. Yep. He is. Nice take on him 17idiit. 10 less shots. 10-13 from the field.
you have zero credibility to talk basketball anymore this Shepard take was so awful

Nice distraction from your keyboard diarrea from a few nights ago. Sheppard is a great player. I never said otherwise.
This subtle nuance might elude you, but he, aGAIN, made all his perimeter shots in situations where he was wide asś open on a bad defensive switch, to lightly contested at best. Meanwhile, Hubbard is busy getting mugged in mid-air while knocking down 4 point plays, or doing dribble step backs to drain 3’s over guys 8 inches taller than him. Every 17ing time in both cases.
Sheppard is an elite athlete and point guard with length and great handles, elite distributor of the ball and great penetrator / finisher around the rim. And yes, he’s an outstanding shooter. But in terms of being able to create his own shot from the perimeter, he’s not on Hubbard’s level. Period.
Hubbard literally just dropped 35 points when he had 4 or 5 NBA players on the other side who knew he was the only serious offensive option they needed to contain. He’s not going to be some NBA superstar like Reeves or Sheppard. But he’s the most special player we’ve had in our backcourt in probably well over 30 years. Last thing he needs to do is shoot less. He’s the only reason we didn’t lose by 20 tonight.
I won’t disagree with all that. But I’ll let the thread die. We can agree to disagree on certain things. One thing is for sure your comparison of Shepard to power was a bad one. They aren’t remotely similar
that said. I do think we went away from smith a little too early. He dominated early on and was the main reason for our fast start. Wonder why he faded
He faded because he can’t make a ******* layup or a ******* free throw.
edit and you should let this thread die because your takes are ******* stupid.
I said he was “a rich man’s Shane Power” as a 3 point shooter….meaning a better version of him in that regard. In case you forgot, Power was a career 40% 3 point shooter. He didn’t suck by any means. But he also wasn’t creating his own looks. He came off ball screens, sagged back in transition, and moved without the ball to bait defenses into bad and late switches to get open. Sheppard does all the same things. On top of all that, he is surrounded by elite talent. He just doesn’t have to work all that hard to get good looks from the perimeter. Hubbard is the complete opposite in every aspect.
