Since Rugby called for

Malik to stop shooting 3's, Malik has shot over 62% from beyond the arc...

ETA: for those hoping/saying (for some reason) that Malik would be back, keep dreaming.

Dude, it's totally his shtick... you just don't get it**

Reverse jinks and what not. ******

[KurtRambis4]

Yeah i

realize his schtick is to say the dumbest **** possible. I was just chalking another one up to him.

 

[ronpolk]

Was rugb the one who had the Myles 17n gentry?

 

[KurtRambis4]

Yes*

Never once did I say for Malik to stop shooting threes.

He shoots better behind the 3pt line than anywhere else and anyone on the team. He is a very good catch and shoot guy so far in his college career. I've always been consistent with that.
It was his driving and pull up jumpers that has hurt us.

Tonight was the best game of his career and I'm very happy for that. If you weren't critical of his game before, you weren't watching or you are a sheep.

Also, this is the first SEC game all year that I did not watch a second of. I will continue to do so.

Onto the wtf stat...Ready had 7 boards?

 

[KurtRambis4]

Lulz

Classic rugby!!! You almost had me!

Of course you never said that, what was I thinking?*******

Well hell maybe rugb is on to something. I'm gonna try not to give him a hard time then. He obviously can do good with his negativity. First gentry and now Malik

 

[dannyripms]

Let's be honest here, malik wasn't playing his best early on, people were even saying Q was the better player. So rug was right. But seems like malik has healed up and is in his groove. He's definitely gotten better in the last 4 games. This team may get hot and end up in the middle of the pack. I'd like to see more movement and passing on offense. Seems like we just run and and pass out. Like to see more screens and double screens

Let's get

this straight, rugby was never right.

What he said....

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

We just need him to call for Mullen to quit recruiting 5 stars.

 

[rugbdawg]

Yep. At that time, percentage wise, he was the worst starter we had.

He Is still 7th in FG percentage on our team but his 3 point percentage is higher than his overall. The post was after his 3-15 performance from the field. He was killing us. Like I said, if you weren't critical of his performance, you weren't watching. The solution was to shoot his way out of the slump. Later, I acknowledged he was doing a god job of shooting the three ball.

Again, I don't know if anyone has been watching our basketball team this year, but Newman has been barely average all year UNTIL the 2nd half of the Ole Miss game. And he was KILLING us by throwing up bricks. At one point, he was shooting under 40 percent on the year from the field. I still think he primarily needs to let others create and shoot threes. His drives result in turnovers or blocks.

That's not true. In that same thread you said Malik should stop shooting I proved you wrong on your stupid claim. Fred Thomas was our worst shooter then. And sword was from the 3 point line.

It's about Maliks shot setup and moxie. When he sets and gets his balance AND he has that "juice" he is NBA prime time from 3. When he doesn't do both of these, he will miss 80% or more.

 

[rugbdawg]

I meant starter, I just forgot to type it. Our 5 starters take the vast majority of the shots anyway. If not for Flat top, it would be the whole team.

 

[whosyourdawgy]

In other news, I don't believe that Malik has a single made layup and for sure doesn't have a single dunk this entire season. How many dang layups can he get rejected in a season? Only one with more that I can remember is Gary Ervin and his 5 foot tall driving ***

He still hasn't learned how to use the rim or his other arm to help protect the ball on layup drives. Still in high school in that part of his game. He can't out-quick the college players.

He is learning the ropes in other aspects of his game and improving steadily.

Great point****

Ah I see... I didn't realize you meant Malik was the worst shooter that starts and wears number 14**

You're argument makes a lot more sense when you change it to not look like a dumbass.
