They are scattered all across the college basketball landscape. Go watch any mid major play and you can see three or four such dudes on each team.
Its obvious we could have a couple dudes like this if we wanted. But we dont offer them.
Why? Because they are limited as zone defenders? Because they are limited in facilitating others offensive games?
WHO CARES. Im not talking about offerring one of these dudes and then playing him 30 minutes a game, but JHC, he could play 10 or 15 and keep defenses somewhat honest.
I look at Cooney and I wonder what he even is. His shot is frankly ugly. I dont care what his high school numbers may have been, but that form does not yell "im gonna be a money shooter at the next level" to me.
I guess my point is for our "designated shooter recruits" I'd rather recruit a guy with one trick than a guy with the potential to offer much more but also a lower floor.
