Message: [QUOTE="Forza Azzurri, post: 2880770, member: 1452"] Different role. The team needed Cooney to score. Since opponents face-guarded him and he was not able to take defenders off the bounce, the team needed to run him off screens to get open. Hence, the amount of movement. Buddy is still very much a complementary offensive player. He is not (yet) the primary focus of the opposing team's defense. Hence, he is getting a lot of open looks just off the fact that the opposing team is focused on stopping other guys. In fact, Buddy reminds me a lot of Lydon from Cooney's senior year. Teams were focused on stopping Silent G, Cooney and Malachi so Lydon got a lot of wide open looks from beyond the arc. If he keeps shooting this way, however, he will start to garner a lot more attention... [/QUOTE]
