UConn Highlights: Isaiah Whaley - Junior Season (2019-2020)

If Isaiah Whaley walks onto the court next year nailing 3's I will start crying

Whaley is really shooting well from 3 in this drill.

I counted Whaley as 9 for 14 from 3 after they re-started the drill.

Sounds right. If he didn’t shoot the best percentage of anyone, it was at least pretty close

Observations from open practice last October...

Since you can't buy TP maybe take the time to stock up on a box of tissues to wipe your tears away.

Ha yeah, after watching open practice I was waiting all year for Whaley to attempt a 3. Can't believe it didn't happen! Maybe next year..

I think he he still needs to develop the muscle memory to hit 2s and 3s in game. In a practice setting we've seen him shoot consistently.

In games, under pressure, I think he's rushed at times and that's why we've seen some insistent bricks and air balls.

Hopefully one more off-season and he feels comfortable in game.

Re: shooting threes... given his form I see no reason he can't hit threes especially from the corner.

Re: taking the 15-18 footer... saying he has to hit 50% is an oversimplification. As long as a pick and roll leaves him wide open and he hits a decent amount the shot is fine if not great offense. Bigger picture, you want to force the defense to react to him which will only happen if he is willing to take that shot.
