He got those minutes because he was literally the only option as back up guard. If you compare Cooney's stats this year to any other sophomore he comes out looking pretty good, not because his year was so excellent, but because sophomores don't usually shoot all that well from deep. Which is why I have a rule, never judge a shooter or a big man until their junior year. My point is people are down on Cooney because they saw more of him in his freshman and sophomore years than they did of other shooters, but if you compare him to other shooters at that stage of development he actually comes out looking pretty good. Nobody knows the future, but history gives us every reason to believe that Cooney makes a significant leap as both a player and a shooter next year. [/QUOTE]
