Message: [QUOTE="Doctor Hoop, post: 3045834, member: 6845"] Do I again have to point out that looking at limited stats in limited minutes doesn't indicate potential. How many on the board were ready to bail on Polley's shooting ability earlier this year? He has, and has always had, a very solid stroke, the guys on the team referred to him as their shooter, and now we're seeing what they were talking about. Not every player arrives on campus ready to perform at their ceiling. Furthermore, not everyone improves at the same pace. Whaley has length, jumping ability, timing, and good hands. Those are things you can work with and develop. He needs strength, some reliable inside moves, and (eventually) a 10-15 ft. jump shot. That's trainable. He would also need playing time. He can earn it in practice. If he doesn't work in practice that's the bigger problem. [/QUOTE]
