I would think its more of the tweaking they are doing with his shot. looking better recently

So you're probably right, he's got some getting used to it to go.
I think this has a lot to do with the proverbial sophomore slump and I think Cumberland is seeing it happen. Unfortunately I'm not sure how much adjustment can be done midseason if this is the case.

I dont know his FT and 3 point % are pretty in line with last year and his 2 point FG% just wasn't sustainable.


This is probably about what we should have expected from him. He's not nearly the pure shooter that Evans is.

I hope he gets the 3 figured out. I'm getting tired of leaning one way or the other when he shoots. Like I'm trying to correct a golf swing gone off line.

Yeah, he was crazy from 2 last year. I think alot of that had to do with he either got all the way to the rim or he shot threes.

I think it's a fair assessment. The big thing IMO is that Cumberland has become indispensable overall. As much as I would like NOT to get on KJ's case...there is no comparison to the overall advantage between the two IMO.

Yeah, to me what Cumberland is doing is as expected. I think he had an exceptional year last year percentage wise, but I'll take a lower percentage if he keeps playing as hard as he is. He's fine, but as someone mentioned above he's just not going to have the clip that Evans has but that's ok. I do wish he could get that FT % to 70%

I don’t like anything about the Houston game. Revenge game for them. @ Houston, 9pm tip. Cbs sports network. Not going to be easy
