Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 3414838, member: 489"] What else would you like to bet on with Cole? Here's some food for thought for all of those so sure we're going to be better because of the change of the guard. Looked at some stats for RJ vs higher ranked opponents at Howard, talent he will be expected to perform against the next 2 years. Granted he's a year older and more mature I certainly hope this helps because Im rooting for this guy, we need him. But nervous, here goes: [COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]2017-18 vs GWU, Indiana, Zags, USF, GTown and UTEP he was 37% overall from the field and 39.5%from 3. The assists/TO ratio 29/14 not bad. His FT shooting is not an issue solid, won't miss 6 FTs you're correct there. 2018-19 vs UMass, So Illini, GWU, GTown, Harvard he was 35% overall from the field and 22.5% from 3. His ratio was 37/17.[/COLOR] Just saying he's a talented kid but he will need to improve against much higher competition as even some of these aren't very good compared to the Big East. Now we can't take completely away from the rest of his league as he was good and a prolific scorer. But when you see teams who can watch a film, make adjustments with kids who can guard we have to be careful to think he will be a savior. He can shoot it better than our PG now I have no doubts but he also will need people to talk the pressure off of him in order to get shots. We need more players who can shoot. [/QUOTE]
