[QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 5229861, member: 8240"]
Summary of his shooting broken into the first 8 games, next 9 games and last 9 (to date, and hoping for 5 more):

First 8 (first game through UMES):
FG- 31/75 (41.3%)
3's- 14/40 (35%)
FT-24/30 (80%)
Pts-12.5/game

Next 9 games (Baylor through first Seton Hall):
FG- 47/109 (43.1%)
3's- 19/48 (39.6%)
FT- 44/50 (88%)
Pts- 17.7/game

[B]Last 9 games[/B] (first Villanova through Oklahoma):
[B]FG[/B]- 34/110 ([B]30.9%[/B])
[B]3's[/B]- 11/49 ([B]22.4%[/B])
FT- 34/39 (87.2%)
Pts- 13.7/game

He peaked in the middle of his season with his highest shooting percentages for FG (43.1%), 3's (39.6%), FT (88%) and points per game (17.7). Looked like a first rounder and possibly a lottery pick.

While he's kept his touch on FT's, keeping it at the elite level it's been at all year, there's nothing positive regarding FG and 3 Point shooting in the last 9 games:
-30.9% FG
-22.4% on 3's

Could it be simply a factor of the minutes he's played?
He's averaging 32 minutes per game and I'm not sure we've ever had anyone play that many minutes as a freshman.......unless it was KEA.
