Waite...for the third or fourth time...I am talking about WIDE OPEN SHOTS not taken!!!

That by definition means they aren't defended. Come on man

From what I remember he shot just about every open 3 he had in the first part of the season and wasted several wide open attempts at the end.

I highly doubt that was Kyle's decision since he never passes up a shot that's open.

Anyhow...if I'm the only one no big deal

This was specific to you because you kept ignoring my point. So I'm sure it sounded ridiculous.

I hope the new recruits get here early in the summer, last year N. Brooks didn't get here till really late and missed a lot of the conditioning. If K. Williams can get here early enough to put on 15 pounds of muscle he will be unstoppable. I hope.

Your point is not backed up by anything other then your memory of some games that happened weeks ago. You even went so far as to imply that the coach told him not to shoot which I asked if you had first hand knowledge. This was bad from the beginning and your continuing down the path only made it worse.

Just my opinion but I don't think Kyle has good enough mechanics to really be a better shooter than ~36%. He has a weird rotation on his jumper (knuckleball-ish), which is weird since it seems like he has good rotation on his FTs. I think taking around 50 threes is perfect for him.

If he could just show his opponent any resemblance of a right hand, he'd be impossible to guard in the post. Not saying he even has to be good at it - if he can just put it on tape that he has it in his arsenal, that'd be huge. He'd sure make things a lot easier on himself rather than forcing some of those crazy shots.

We'll have a good mix of pushing the tempo and hunting for quick easy buckets combined with pulling the ball out and playing through the bigs. But the "slower" part won't be walking the ball up and crossing halfcourt with 21 seconds on the shot clock, at least IMO.
