This is awesome. My favorite is Southerland shooting 94% at the rim. Carter Williams 57% at the rim, which echoes what has been said here; he has trouble finishing. Scary one is Coleman is our worst shooter at the rim, 55%.

I don't think Coleman's case is that troubling. Dajuan clearly has a lot of work to do on his game. He needs to learn to finish strong at the rim and use his body more. He should be throwing down more dunks and when he does a lay up he nearly always throws the ball too hard off the backboard. Dajuan also keeps bringing the ball too low when he gets the ball. All of these issues I think are teachable. What isn't teachable is his rebounding and footwork which are both excellent. Coleman has all of the necessary tools, he just needs to figure out how to utilize them.

The latter is teachable. (Bringing the ball down. that killed me). But he doesn't dunk a lot because he doesn't have much lift. But Jared Sullinger didn't, he at least was at 66% at the rim last year, and 64% as a frosh. Neither total is that good, but it's better than 55%.

Let's just say it.

He needs to lose some weight.

That and do a ton of drills to improve his liftoff.

Hopefully he'll get better lift once he sheds more weight this offseason.

Just a fun set of stats to monitor throughout the season.
