Still seeing Jesse's stroke on that 3 -and don't think it was pure luck.Players spend a lot of time shooting around and playing unofficial ‘scrimmages’ with each other and things like that. If Jesse felt confident making 3’s, I think he’d show it at those times. Practices are also relatively low risk scenarios, especially for a Center with no competition for playing time. There’d really be nothing stopping him from stepping back and shooting some threes other than the coach calling him names.
Needs to take a few more for a larger sample size (just to satisfy my curiosity!).
Duke game, down 15+ with SU/Jesse lost on offense, I'd have been fine seeing him slip out to the line for an open 3. Suppose he made it again, and possibly another?
That game could have got interesting when you consider the fan reaction and opening up the lane.
If he missed -so what. SU was toast.
