Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 62623, member: 716"] I'll never be hoodwinked again after last season. Fab, Fair, and Keita all came in as allegedly terrific shooters. Each showed good form in the first exhibition game. As the season wore on, all three became some degree of awful from the line. Yeah, Keita was hurt. And Fab and Fair might've hit the wall. But Syracuse doesn't emphasize free throw shooting, and it shows. I was most disappointed in Scoop's regression last season. Dropped from near 80% (where he should be) to the high 60s? That seemed yet another consequence of his playing 10 pounds too heavy last year. He, Triche, and Waiters should all be 85% from the line. Joseph should be, too, but I've seen nothing in three years to indicate that he's interested in focusing on knocking them down. More of the same on Saturday; he went to the line distracted, kind of tossed them up there, and the end result was bricks. [/QUOTE]
