That’s not my takeaway, it’s my criticism. You’re absolutely right that when he ran the offense and got his teammates involved he was great. I’m pointing out that when he doesn’t do that, when the “old Boo” appears, we typically don’t get good results. It’s the thing that annoys me time and again. Hogging the ball and poor 3pt shot selection.
We can take all the threes we want, but if we’re not taking good threes what’s the point? Let’s not ignore the stats. He was 4-12 overall from 3 and by my count 2-7 on deep threes (25 ft and beyond). So 40% on what I deem to be “good” threes and 28% on what I think are “bad” threes, usually early in the clock. To me those are turnovers. Maybe in wrong though. Maybe he had an odd night. I’ll try to make time to chart it next game too.
For the record I think 18 ft jumpshots by *anyone* are a waste. Why increase shot difficulty for less of a return? Greer was guilty of it yesterday, for sure. Either attack the basket or pass it up to a three point shooter.
