And Thor shoots like both of his arms are broken.
I didn't know about his play before he came here, but watching him play, he has the Euro style down - good passer and decent around the rim, but his outside shot is not a thing of beauty.I thought he was supposed to be a shooter when he was recruited. Unless they play a different game in iceland and shooting is somehow lost in translation, I’m not seeing it.

If he could develop a shot I REALLY like the rest of his game. But that shot is brutal.I didn't know about his play before he came here, but watching him play, he has the Euro style down - good passer and decent around the rim, but his outside shot is not a thing of beauty.
I just cringe when Nebraska gets in a fast break situation, but doesn't have numbers. Instead of passing it out and running the offense or letting someone shoot an uncontested shot, we just put our heads down and bulldoze our way to the rim and throw up a prayer. When we drive, no matter how many defensive players collapse on the driver, we refuse to pass and throw up a crap shot. You can just see it when they get the ball and put it on the floor that they aren't stopping for nothing. Palmer is the worst about it. The basketball IQ of this team is very very low IMO.Thor has a nice basketball IQ. When someone bothers to guard him, he knows enough to draw some defensive attention and dish the ball off. The fact that this is noteworthy says a lot about the state of the NU program.
You're right and it's not just Palmer. They always take the contested shot instead of drawing the defenders and dishing for the easier layup. Says a lot about how selfish the team is.I just cringe when Nebraska gets in a fast break situation, but doesn't have numbers.
