Message: [QUOTE="Antiprodigy, post: 2204224, member: 582"] moqui, you of all people know you can make stats say whatever you want them to say, depending upon what data set you use. Here is another one, using the same game logs... In games played in 2017, he is 18/55 = 32.7% from 3. Essentially, 33%. You and I can make all sorts of conclusions based upon the data. Using the data I showed, someone might argue that his 3 pt shot is improving. And then used in conjunction with the closer line in the NCAA, say that he could easily be a viable 3rd shooter. The problem is the data set is small, and it can not take into account the closer line, so everything is speculation and conjecture. It ultimately depends upon whether you are a glass half full person, or a glass half empty person. Neither type will ever get the other to see their viewpoint. IMO, he is a low volume, streaky 3 pt shooter. When he is hot, he can light it up (for example, in a few games, he went 3-6, 5-8 & 4-7), but there are also a number of game where he went 0-1, 0-3, 1-3. Even an 0-5 game. He isn't just loading up the points against the weakest teams either, but there will certainly be an adjustment level to the athletic abilities of players in the ACC. However, if he played a pick up game with the guys on the team, the staff certainly would have been able to get some feel for how he was able to deal with the other kids on the team, who are no slouches when it comes to athleticism. His dribbling is pretty good for a 6-9 player, but he isn't going to be playing the 2. Smaller, quicker guards would eat him alive, though he could easily shoot over top of them. I think he gives solid depth at the two forward spots, and I expect there to be a nice rotation between Brissett, Moyer & Dolezaj, that we will come to enjoy over the next few years. None of them are likely to be 1 & done, which is a nice change of pace. [/QUOTE]
