So says the expert...Uh, hate to tell you but you just made my point for me. Cooney has shown over a three-year sample size that he can't shoot when well defended. Can't. Some guys can but he can't. But he keeps jacking them up. It's kind of a duh. When he's open and sets his feet and has a little breathing room, he can shoot. But that's it. So why not be that guy instead of trying to be something you're not. And, just for the record, Duke switched all game long. Was Cooney tightly defended? Yes, he was. So, become a decoy, use a shot fake, get inside, actually pass the ball (it's an amazing concept). Make them pay for how they defend you.

Oh, and one more thing...going back a month to the Clemson game, he's on an 18 for 69 streak on threes, as in 26 percent over 9 games. That's who he is. Was he well defended in those games? Probably. But in those same games, he shot 19 for 41 inside the arc, or 46 percent. Maybe, just maybe he should be just a bit more selective on his shots, Mr. Expert. Maybe he's a good two-point shooter and a selective three-point guy. Nothing wrong with that, but that's not how he plays.
