admo Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Sidenote.... The greatest college basketball shooters I have ever seen in my lifetime..... Guys going full throttle and draining deep three's.... And occasional dunks with fast breaks Rex Chapman - Kentucky Anderson Hunt - UNLV JJ Reddick - Duke They shot netters from all over the court, with no limit to their range, and some clutch shots. Amazing in college, even though I didn't think it would translate to the NBA. And yet, JJ played/got paid for 15 years in the NBA. Anyway, I haven't seen anyone shoot as good as they did in college ball. And I have been trying to think of others 2 Quote Link to comment

Great for but didn't think it would translate to the NBA. And yet, JJ played/got paid for 15 years in the NBA. Anyway, I just haven't seen anyone shoot deep as good as they did in college ball. I didn't remember Hunt being a three-point bomber. But apparently so. Jimmer Fredette probably in that conversation as well. 1 Quote Link to comment

Great add about Frederette !!!! Yeah Hunt was jacking up 8 threes a night with the Running Rebels. When they won with Larry Johnson. Long time ago lol Quote Link to comment
admo Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I remember Glen Rice with Georgia Tech having a silky smooth shot..... I can't remember if it was with Mark Price or Kenny Anderson at PG. Great shooter but not the best. Also, Eric Piatkowski was insane from 3 point land and def in the Convo.... Wish others got to see the Polish Rifle shoot at Nebraska..... He was a bomber 1 Quote Link to comment

I see a competent but not especially gifted 7' 4" athlete who gets most of the team's offense funneled to him. Given so many mismatches, he's going to get his points. But with a little bit of defensive strategy and talent, he and the team become a lot less efficient. Even with his incredible advantage, he's not a great finisher. Mostly what concerns me, and would keep him off my draft board, is watching him stand flat footed, arms at his side, as a Husky player drives past him. How often he's out of position, or makes no real effort for rebounds. Or simply has them taken out of his hands by a more motivated defender. I think the NBA will eat him alive. 2 Quote Link to comment

He shouldn't be drafted in the lottery and be expected to be one of the top guys on the team. Now if he was a backup big that played like 10-15 minutes a game he could be useful in that way I think.
