Pope will have a hard time out recruiting Kansas. For some reason he has a difficult time closing the sale. Hopefully he fines tunes his closing pitch.

How many are out there with +38%? How long before we can no longer count on more entering?
I have no idea. Maybe there aren't many at 38%, but I would be happy with 35% or so.
There are a ton of guys in the portal, surely there are one or two that want to play here on a spread offense.

Good player, but I would love to grab another Koby Brea type shooter.
33% from 3 doesn't scare defenses as much as guys like Brea and Robinson did.
33% is plenty good enough when u do everything else good.
Brea couldn't do anything besides 2 3s a game

Nobody that one sided is scaring anyone

No he wasn't
He never once created a shot for himself Inside the paint
He made a couple crossovers n got jumpers from them but it was few
Nobody on that team besides Butler Could beat their man off the dribble. It's literally why we struggled
Well that's incredibly false, but have it your way, I'm not going to ruin the thread for something this ridiculous, I know where this is headed.

I mean, Brea attempted 8.7 FG per game and 5.9 were 3pt attempts. He made 4.1 fg per game but 2.6 of them were 3s. So are you saying the 1.5 FG per game he made aside from 3s was this other skill?

No fair using facts to prove a point. That’s not how it works around here.

Are those his stats for the entire year, or after Robinson went down?
Like I said, at the end of the year, KB was much more than just a shooter. He was driving the ball, rebounding and his defense was greatly improved.
Just ask Illinois.

Those are for the whole year, so they would factor in both. Are you saying his stats after that were so great but still couldn't rise his seasonal totals about 1.5 more fg a game aside from 3s?

Why don't you give us a breakdown?

Guy is playing for the Phoenix Suns, the NBA doesn't exactly make a habit out of drafting guys that can only shoot.

Stan Van Gundy had a lot of good things to say about him during that game. Suspect he knows more about BB than just about anybody who posts here!

By the end of the year he started ball faking & driving a little. Next year's team needs a cutting player like Jaxson Robinson & a passer like Amari. Creators at guard that can also shoot would be nice.
Yeah, for most of the year, KB played the shooters role, staying outside to keep the court spread, but after Robinson went down, Kobe took on a different role, he was much more active and he really shoeed how good he was in that Illlinois game.

He actually started playing better defense after the Ole Miss game, they all did because they got embarrassed down there.

These guys have to defend their stance, which is "Pope doesn't develop players, so they will never admit that Kobe improved throughout the season, but he did and it's why he and Amari are in the NBA.
If Pope continues to run that zoom offense he needs a passer like Amari & a cutter like Jaxson. I've read that Stokes is a really good passer, I hope we get him.

They do that all the time actually. Particularly with late picks.

Lol, looking at his NBA stats...3.0 fg attempted per game. 2.5 are 3s.

Just stop, dude.

Yeah, he's a young player in the NBA, he's not a star, but they don't keep guys on the roster that are just going to get isolated on defense and can't create their own.
He would be in the GL if you were right.

But they do. Teams literally recruit specialist across in multiple areas.
