Has he maintained or improved his 3pt shooting?

Must have already watched this 50 times...

must be improved. Last year they said he rarely even shot 3s

 

[ctchamps]

A few weeks ago it was reported he was making a decent percentage of them. Some debate about his form but everyone was excited about the improvement. I was wondering if he’s continued.

Does that matter?

 

[bendm]

Does that matter?

only to the extent that rankings matter, but you already knew that

 

[intlzncster]

Does that matter?

For perception sake, yeah. Big part of recruiting is optics and hype. The higher rated guys we land, the more higher rated guys might give us a look. I'd love if he jumped.

His senior year mix tape is going to be one of the best high school tapes of all time.

I'll take that type of swagger all day as long as the ensuing T doesn't figure into the outcome of the game.

It's been too long since we've played with a line in the sand.

Athleticism is off the charts, but I’m more impressed that’s he’s a basketball player. Great passing, court vision, awareness.

God I miss the swagger we used to have. We need dunks like this again while grabbing yer .... Need to get that attitude back. Too many nice guys on the squad. Let’s get grimy. Can’t wait till next year. Tired of this soft junk.

But this is 2019. Isn't it mean and disrespectful to throw one down and bark at the opponent, possibly hurting his feelings?

 

[jibsey]

I’m jacked to see him doing this for us but against real defenses will he be able to?

Yes

Really? I thought we've had plenty of swagger lately with guys like Purvis and Vital. We need team ball and wins.

Like the kid a lot but no need for that on that kid sorry. That’s not swagger it’s just wrong.

Good news is I’ve been impressed on all videos prior that he never does that, just flies back on defense. I prefer to let the game talk unless it’s payback.

 

[Chief00]

Chief will be back on The Grind after the holidays - looking forward to comparing the growth in his game to last summer and last season.

On one hand I agree with you, but you never know what might have transpired between the two prior to the dunk. In any event, having Bouk and Jackson at the wing positions next season is going to be a lot of fun to watch, especially when they are both out there with Akok.

A starting lineup of Cole, Bouk, Jackson, Akok, and Carlton is exciting to think about.

I hate mixtapes. But that's just me.

@#$% that give me a T. That means we dunked all over somebody's soul. been a long time round here

Agreed and I hate when Vital does it too. Have some class.
