I hate to harp on this kid, but him jacking up 3's blows my mind, GG is so physical would love to see him drive more. The 0.8 assist is crazy I just think this kid has so much more potential instead of trying to be a Curry from long range.

I synced up my tv with my radio last night so I could listen to Dan and Chuck and they commented on how GG is playing with injuries and Chuck believes it is affecting his shooting. I believe he is referring to his shoulder, and if that is the case, I can see why he might be hesitant to drive. Don't get me wrong, I think he could use some work on his shot anyway, but as someone who was little more than a knockdown shooter when I played in HS, I can see how an injury like that could affect the stroke.

He drove me crazy on the out of bounds pass beneath the basket that he threw directly to the Central Florida guy.

I believe he has the highest vertical jump on the team...you would never know it because he thinks he is Ray Allen but he is def. gifted athletically.

Nothing really looks smooth with him....

With that being said, he needs to be able to shoot and make and open three. I rarely think he forces a three. He HAS to take the open ones... It would be ideal if he made a few more but it just is what it is at this point.

I don't mind him shooting open 3's at all unless it's NBA range early in the clock which he tends to do at least once a game. I say if you want to shoot threes you are also going to have to show me you are going to at least TRY to get in the lane first.

There are some players who get a little lazy when selecting shots. I don't want players settling for 3 pointers all day unless they knock down close to 40% and don't have much ball skills...but all of our guards and wings have sufficient ball skills. I would put Sanders in this category as well but he is at least shooting pretty well right now. I would prefer more driving mixed in with threes.

I thought he played a good game last night. Sure his shot selection could be better, he probably should only be taking 1 or 2 threes a game, but his D last night was stellar. He was hounding the UCF guards. That's why he gets the PT

Had had 3 or 4 steals last night. Solid game for Guyn.

I think Guyn's shots are too strong. He seems to have good mechanics, I think he needs to find a way to put a little more of a soft touch on them. Like it or not, Mick encourages his players to take the open shot so I don't think we'll see Guyn shooting any less.

Yes, he is a very good defender. 3 steals is not a typical night for him...but on the ball he is great. Bottom line is we need his D to keep this team in the conversation as one of the best D's in the country. So he is valuable...and I would like him to become more valuable by focusing on driving more. He may not be the excellent passer Caupain is...but he doesn't have to be.

He's gives it his all when he's out there on D...not much else we can ask from him there. On offense I would ask for less 3's and more penetration...and I think that was the very point of this thread.
