Summer Sessions 2025

Kings shot the lights out from 3 for like 80% of his season. He was low volume so a few cold shooting games near end of season brought his % down too.

True, the last 6 games of the season, Kingz shot 7/25 from three, bringing his season average down to .446. Prior to that, Kingz shot .485 from three over a 24 game sample.

Amazing efficiency for a long set of games. I wonder if he wore down at the end of the season, if it was better competition, or just a cold streak all shooters get sometimes?

Crazy what an actual S&C program can accomplish

How long has he been in the program?

 

[RedtheGOB]

He did put up 130 3s at 4.2 a clip last year so I’d not exactly call that low volume…that’s only 3 less than Bell put up all of last year.

Umm you remember Bell got benched right and stopped shooting 3's unless he was wide open. I would call Bell a low volume 3 point shooter last year too given he basically stopped taking 3's unless he was wide open and became a sort of 6th man without the spark.

Thank you! I remember someone from Oregon getting interviewed talking about Kingz in this context. They said he was pretty much lights out for most of the season. Not someone they wanted to let go of.

Pshh. Same energy we saw from the guys last year, only it was when they were eating at Lampkins BBQ place.

To me low volume is under 100 attempts ( or closer to 75) with 200 or more being high. Kingz falls in between like Bell last year. 4.2 3s a game is moderate volume.

Glue guys/role players are so important. That gets lost in the transfer portal era.

Yup. Not everyone you are gonna get is 20ppg starter. You need role players. Those are the difference most times between an OK team and a very good team. Are best teams we always had a very good 6th and 7th man. Dion, Kris Joseph, Grant his freshman year, southerland. Not saying that kid is on that level but they are important

Kingz going right is encouraging.

Look, sometimes it's good for team bonding to take a trip together to Pound Town.

It's good enough that I'll make a special detour on the way to my far more rural destinations.

The food, I mean.

Reminds me of how huge Josh Pace was for us back in day. love thst type of guy.

 

[shu 49]

I know I'm quoting myself here but the more I think about it, the more I'm actually pissed off about this.

It's actually embarrassing as a high-major program that we just didn't properly commit any time and effort into actual strength & conditioning over the last however-many years.

How many wins were left on the table, even during JB's good years? Were we playing certain styles because we didn't WANT to put the effort in to get the players conditioned into playing man defense? It's infuriating.

Just plain lazy

We made a drinking game in school. Take a drink every time Josh pace made a play off the bench. Pretty drunk.

Did you have to drink it with your left hand?

Glad to see Red get the kids together in NYC and running and working out off campus. Hopefully Fennell joins the team soon. Seems per Diawaras IG he may be in NYC right now as well…
