Whether you think he is capable or not...
5/6 on threes tonight so far

Can see that both he & Vance grew up with the game. They're still adjusting to the speed of college ball, but they understand the concepts and feel of the game.The best thing about Vital is his decision making as a freshman. He makes the right play the huge majority of the time. Even in the games where he's shot terribly, he's always taken shots that he's supposed to taking within the the offense.
Vance with an easy quiet 12 tonight. I'd love to see him take home AAC ROY after all the crap he took early on.Can see that both he & Vance grew up with the game. They're still adjusting to the speed of college ball, but they understand the concepts and feel of the game.
Christian can shoot the ball much better than he has shown this year.....he is a streaky shooter who when he's on will shoot from anywhere....and that can be a problem....he will take some of the wildest shots you can imagine....his biggest improvement this year seems to be staying within the offense......been waiting for his shooting to break out.....might be the start of a 4-5 games rollI didn't know he could shoot quite this well. Bodes well for next year.
Yeah, he deflected a bunch of passes out of bounds too. Amazing game from him.Should also point out that Vital had 5 steals tonight. I like the way he gets after it on D. Kid has heart.

The one big positive from this tough season is that some of these kids are getting experience, and getting better for the future, that they wouldn't have gotten if the team wasn't so shorthanded.The good news is that he is getting an accelerated education because of our injuries.

Adams has to stay for next season. It's the best chance this team has to be very good next season. I'm still a believer that with a full squad this season they would have been pretty good and bounced back from the Wagner and Northeastern losses.
2-3 zone allows for that. No man can recover to the week side as fast as a passed ball. It leaves shooters wide open. After 3-4 makes, the weak side guard starts to cheat and that leaves the middle open. Queue Facey at the foul line (That will be Larier and Diarra next year).Who was our last freshman guard to knock down 5-7? Two things. He was shooting from the line not 3 feet behind it, and he was open. The percentages are higher that way for both him and Vance. Same with Jalen shooting from the line. I know they don't always get that position but it takes work, ball movement which we have improved upon lately.
If Christian and Vance both stick around for four years, they are going to make us very happy. Both need work defensively, but virtually all freshman do.
As an aside, does Vital remind anybody else a bit of Russ Smith? Seems like they're from the same area, similar body types, and similarly ranked out of high school. Vital isn't as quick and it's very unlikely he'll ever be as good, but he's ahead of where Russ was as a freshman.
