Sounds like TyTy...

[kyjeff1]

If you want to turn the fact that an absolute lights out shooter like TyTy also shot the lights out in a 3 point contest into something negative, you're allowed to. I'm also allowed to think you're an absolute wanker for doing so.

I assume you're talking about me, but all I did was state that Briscoe won a three point shooting contest too, I believe it was the weekent if The mcdonald's all star game, but my point was that tjose contests are not a good measuring stick for success and Briscoe proved that.

If you want to talk shooting percentages, well yeah, that is a better measuring stick, but that wasn't what I was responding to.

I hope he’s really good but I also hope you didn’t craft this whole thread just based on Fan Fest reports.

 

[ScrewDuke1]

It can go both ways. Briscoe won a big one before coming to UK also

Lol that blew my mind. There must have been some absolutely terrible 3 point shooters in that contest for Briscoe of all people to have won it.

 

[Patriot202]

I think some people forget how good Knight was. I don’t think Tyty will be quite to that level, but he might not be that far off.

If he’s anything like Knight I already love our back court

"I know this group can shoot but what I don't know is their defense"

This is certainly a question, but I think it goes beyond that. Basketball is a game of fundamentals. Rebounding, second chance points, stopping the other teams second chances, passing vs. turnovers, all hold as much or more meaning as simply shooting skills. Personally, and I have said it before, I believe this is a Final Four team if Cal uses the depth and a much more intense all out defense with that advantage as there may be better starting fives out there but not one team has this team's starting ten.

I jus don't think Cal will play any differently than he always has. He will run the same offense, the same defense.
If he didn't try to wear opponents out with the 2015 group, he won't with this group. He will have no answer when opponents play zone other than passing the ball around outside. Maybe I'm wrong, but after last year, I don't have much faith in him or his strategies

 

[Jakarii]

A lot of people (everyone?) overlooked the very last thing Cal said about TyTy in his press conference, after all the good things he said about him.

"Decision making not quite there".

Another question is how he'll be playing on the big stage in front of thousands. Will he succumb to the pressure or thrive on it? Remember all those highlight videos you've seen him in? Did you notice the crowd sizes? Typically no more than a few hundred people. Here's a pic of the AZ Compass Prep gym. Seriously, even if fans are standing around the court filling the place, could it possibly hold more than 500 people?

I know a lot around here don't like the easy non-conf home schedule, but I'm glad about it. It will give the freshmen time to adjust to the college game and gain confidence before playing tougher opponents. I'd love to see both Collins and Hopkins get significant minutes during this stretch and then take it from there based on how they perform.

I'm confident that by the time the SEC schedule starts TyTy will be ready.

Exactly

 

[kgargus]

According to Maxpreps, TyTy shot 41% from 3 his senior year on 88 attempts.

A while back, someone had said that, as high as he got ranked, it could have even been higher, but they were being a little cautious since he came on so fast.

He didnt come on faster than Sharpe has in next class and no one is worried there .

 

[jrpross_rivals]

He didnt come on faster than Sharpe has in next class and no one is worried there .

He came on WAY faster than Sharpe. This time last year, Tyty was unknown.

Reminds me of how Shai came on late.

Pretty sure it was the Iverson game. It was when the Iverson game was kinda new so I don't think there was the best of competition. Briscoe wasn't known as a shooter in HS. Not like ty ty anyway.

 

[UK90]

True, but did Briscoe shoot 41% from 3 his SR. year or any year? Tyty has also been regarded as one of the best shooters in his class.

I don’t know, but it is true that Briscoe came in being hyped by our fans as an ace three-point shooter based on his performance in three-point shooting contests. One of the many BBN fan takes on recruits that turned out to be woefully wrong.

@kyjeff1 gives us his usual "brilliant" assessment in post #24.

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

...may be better than some of us expected. I'm sure some here have claimed he would be an immediate impact player. But of course, people make wild claims every season around here. Since the day Wheeler signed, I was thinking TyTy was his back-up and likely wouldn't make much of an impact. But if you saw his shooting in that 3pt contest, perhaps I have underestimated him. I'll be honest, even when I read recent comments from Kellan Grady when he specifically mentioned TyTy, and when I read comments from Calipari about him being better than expected, I brushed them off. Ah, that's just a guy being nice and a coach "coach-speaking." TyTy is supposed to be a pass first point guard whose shooting is developing. If he can be a consistent 3pt shooter, perhaps in the 37-40% range, that changes things.

I'm confused by your post. When we were after Ty Ty, I read his scouting reports. They all said basically the same thing, a skilled 3 level scorer. I dont get your take on his shooting.

So, now I'm confused. What point are you trying to make? My comment in post #24 is very complimentary towards Briscoe because I bought into the hype and I was still all in on this NBA factory at that time.
So, I complimented an incoming recruit and you're trying to make it seem like a bad thing??? Can you please explain to me whatever it is that I am missing?

For those that didn’t open the thread Leadbelly junior linked, here is what I said in post 24:
KYJeff1: Love it. He showed a lot of skill in the Jordan Brand game too.

Someone want to tell me what is wrong here? In case you didn't already know @PbAbdo is a troll and is doing nothing but stirring the pot here, this is an amateur troll move, he just picked out a post of mine and tried to make it seem like I was trashing… .something, I'm not sure what.

Do you actually understand what that means? I Don't think you do.
The real question is, what was your point with that post, it's like you're tried to say I was wrong for a positive post I made about an incoming recruit, what's so sarcastically "insightful" about that? Makes no sense.
Help me help you.

leadbelly in the hizzy

 

[kelzer]

Lots has been written about TyTy's basketball skills: shooting, passing, defense, and other on-the-floor abilities, but one week after naming himself the best shooter on the team at Pro Day, look at the joy on his face celebrating CJ's beating him in the BBM 3pt shootout.

Says a lot about the kid's character. Instead of pouting that he was beaten, he celebrates his teammate's success. Can't wait for the season to start.

 

[sk73]

Right, which is why I mentioned the senior year shooting % for TyTy, but we are evidently only allowed to mention things with which this poster approves of. He said the OP didn't mention HS shooting %, but he also didn't mention Briscoe. So I was inquiring why one and not the other is acceptable...

I put Kyjeff on ignore a couple of years ago. Try it, you will never regret it.

 

[kl40504_rivals]

Okay, but we weren't talking about shooting percentages, we were talking about three point shooting contest wins

But shooting percentages is much more indicative of how well a player shoots. Three point contest mean little.

 

[kl40504_rivals]

I jus don't think Cal will play any differently than he always has. He will run the same offense, the same defense.

[kybballcrazy_rivals]

Briscoe was NEVER thought of as a shooter coming out of high school. Kid won some 3 point contest in an all star game his senior year with 16 pts in the contest(i remember watching it) but make no mistake he was never considered a 3 point shooter by the talent evaluaters(daniels etc) Washington is an excellent shooter. On a whole different level than Briscoe and it’s not even close.

 

[Kybluedude]

Just in the brief MM scrimmage Washington showed his shooting ability and some of those 3s were DEEP! I’m not worried about his ability to shoot or score.
This team - if they can rebound- is going to be something. Shooters!
