Jalen Lecque offered

[Blue Decade]

He can't shoot at all. People will complain even though he will be one of the top players in the country.

A lot of athletic players are able to improve their shot tool with coaching and better fundamentals. Darius Miller, Marquis Teague, De’Aaron Fox, Wenyen Gabriel, for example.

^ lots of info on Lecque from the last couple of weeks, from Bossi & Evans' opinion to where his AAU coach says he's underrated, what Lecque has wanted to develop, and what his father told our guy David Sisk recently.

Fox shot 25%, and only improved in March on low volume. And he was an amazing player. It doesn't matter if your point guard can't shoot if he can get all the way to the rim AND finish AND distribute (and play defense).

That dunk is impressive, but that extra lift he got at the end is due to pushing off with this left arm.

The point is that some players improve with good coaching. If the reason for a player’s shooting percentage is bad shooting technique, that can be coached up and improved.

Right. I'm just saying he is shooting 5% from 3 this EYBL, and I don't care. I don't need him to shoot threes.

In-out dribble, a shimmy and a slam. That was pretty. Consider me sold.

May reclass

Wow wow wow! I want this kids @ UK !!! Highly athletic, shifty and looks like he has the same fire JW had coming out of high school. Can you imaginehim coming in with the potentially returnees we'd have at the guard position?!?! Things are really setting up nicely for the next couple of years after a "down" period in recruiting. Buckle up boys the next 2 years could be special

He shouldn't need to shoot if we have a junior baker and sophomore Herro. Those guys behind the line should open the lane up for him to create. He'll compliment those 2 nicely

Good catch. I didn't even notice that.

Rumor is the kid wants to reclass.

Check out a recent article with a quote from him..Says he has no problem staying in current class if numbers don't work out or something like that.
