Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5193601, member: 1268"] Furthermore and not as a dig, but a lot of his big games last year were against bad teams and bad defenses. He was 8-29 from 3 in the tourney, 27%. If you remove the cupcakes and 3 worst BE teams last year in DePaul/Gtown (who were historically abysmal) and Butler (who had an awful defense), he shot 29% from 3 last year. Now you put him in a lead role, and here you have it. Here's the reality folks - he's an average shooter. He has a quirky corkscrew release that is not designed to be efficient, but if you can get him time/space to work it, he's made it work. We have to get him back to a level where he's at least a threat, but Alex isn't a guy that was ever burning nets. I'd honestly have to think at the NBA level they'd reconstruct his release. A ton of his overall efficiency last year was a product of teammates and back cuts, etc. [/QUOTE]
