What's happened to Swider?

[Ozone!]

That’s not the way I heard it or took it; when I heard the statement it seemed like Coach was only saying it would take him some time to learn the Cuse way to play offense and create his own shot. It’s interesting how 2 people can hear the same thing and draw different meanings!

What are we talking about? It was one game. He's looked so much better than expected

You expected him to shoot worse than 20% from three?

Once his shot starts falling again he’ll be back to being the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Watching him the last couple years on Villanova (I know I've said it a bunch - my wife is a Nova alum, so I see many games), I never once saw him get into a rhythm in his several years on that team. He's going to have like a 19 point game this season, surrounded by a bunch of 5 point, 4 foul efforts.

He went his last 36 games at Nova without getting more than 30 minutes, his first 2 games here he played 31 and 34 minutes. He will have more of a leash to get into a rhythm. Not everyone can come off the bench and make 3s (like he was expected to at Nova). Some shooters need to get in the groove of the game. He’s older, in a new offense, and getting more PT than ever - I don’t see a lot of “5pt games” for him this year.

If he’s getting 4 fouls a game he won’t have too many 30 minute games.

Well yeah lol. But that wasn’t really the point. If he gets 4 fouls before he hits 25 minutes every single game we are more screwed than even we thought lol

Maybe he had the flu

He had a total of 3 fouls the first two games. Why now the concern he’ll be getting 4? Because it happened one game?

I was responding to another post where it said he always has 4 fouls. That’s all.

You replied to the wrong post then.

It was responding to a post that said it. Go critique that post.

I don’t want too.

He's shown some ability to put it on the floor. I thought he'd be a piece of plywood. Come on, two3, you know cherry picking that stat is cheap. He's not going to shoot anywhere near that low for the year

Against tomato cans. Listen, he’ll be good for us but a week ago people were saying he’d be better than buddy. The dude is a preseason AA and on every watchlist there is, go after them for being ridiculous. We have 3 years of evidence on Swider, it’s possible he just isn’t that great.
