Message: [QUOTE="walski, post: 5358526, member: 12367"] Can't agree more on this take. If a few of Stewarts's open 3s fall as well as his close range shots, people on here would be praising him. And if Ross' quick fire threes were airballs as usual, we would have lots of question marks still. In reality, you need to judge on the body of work, the quality of shots, the effort on defense and rebounding, etc. A few observations on the others... - Furphy 3 pointer looks great, it just needs to fall. Reminds me of year 1 Solo when his shot looked pure but he was still 32% from deep. He's a smart, strong, and connected w Reibe 2x for easiest baskets of the game. - Karaban gets a lot of criticism for his shooting last season, but it seems like way too often is he shooting when feet aren't set, when he's falling away sideways, or when he's way behind the line. Given he has the moves to drive to the hoop now, I'd love to see more pump fakes when he doesn't have time/space to get off a high quality shot. - Silas was solid. Showed us he could shoot, was a pest on defense, and looked comfortable bringing the ball up. We saw he has the skill to create his own shot, but nice to see he's not rushing to show that in his first (exhibition) game. - Reibe will go thru the machine where he is taught to be efficient and selective with his decision making in the post. We can all see the skill and the motor. - Solo is going to ball out this year. He looks like he has the confidence that many in the UConn star role had before him. In both scrimmages we heard Hurley evaluating the quality of 3 pointers from Solo and others, so I expect his shooting percentage to massively improve. - Happy with the other role players. Very nice that Koroma/Millender/Smith are skilled and experienced in their roles and not making the mistakes that typical freshmen backups would. [/QUOTE]
