I would find it hard to believe a guy getting 20+ minutes per game gave anyone a surprise in scouting by end of year last year. He was a factor that had to be scouted and accounted for. Nobody had to scout KJ very much....he wasn't going to drive and he was a below average shooter. Cumberland was the guy on the wing that other teams had to factor in.

He's off to a slowish start...but he will get it going. Instinct doesn't just go away...Jarron has it.

He had a huge and 1 to put us up 53-49...but then missed the FT. He also had a bs charge called on him where the defender was clearly still sliding. I'd like to see him get it going. I feel like he's still looking to be himself though.

And you don't think every player will struggle in this way at some point??

Last year Blueitt shot 9-11 in our game and shot .371 on the year. Evans shot .418 on the year without the benefit of a 9-11 game.

Cumberland will come around. He is missing a lot of open shots that will start to fall in. Biggest thing besides turnovers I see with the team is a lack of confidence. There Xavier raping might have something to do with this. They are almost playing with no emotion. Cumberland has also been involved with some terrible charging calls, might be slightly reason he is hesitant to take ball inside more. They all need boost of confidence, there shots will begin to fall.

Im actually not concerned with Cumberlands 3 point shooting. He is shooting 20 points higher than last year.

Im concerned with his 2 point shooting. Last year what made him so good was getting out in transistion and scoring in the paint. Last year he shot an out of this world 65% from 2. this year he is shooting 46% from 2.


Thats why his Offensive rating is down from 118.6 last year to 108 this year.

It's almost 2018.

I am fully aware of the advanced metrics of 3s. I understand the math of how a lower percentage of 3s equals the same number of points as a higher percentage of 2s. I think this is harder to apply to the college level. They aren’t as good as shooters. If they were, way do zones work so well in college?
