He had 10 deflections out of the 40 we shoot for as a team every game! 3 blocks, 2 steals. Did a decent job on the boards. If he can do that he is going to be a menace on D and could replace some of what we got out of Evans. He is going to have to hit that mid range J and fadeaway a lot this year because he won't be able to get to the bucket as easy against better teams and his 3 ball is still suspect. That's not the best area to be scoring but he will have to take what he can get...just like Scott. I agree...pump the breaks. He is still limited by the 3 ball and won't find it as easy to get to the rack many games |

can you find those stats anywhere or did somebody mention it in an interview? but it is a step forward he hasn't been chucking up a bunch of 3s. last year he was 0-8 in the first 3 games. |

Williams has shown by far the most potential of our forwards (other than Cumberland) to be a scorer and I feel pretty comfortable that he will develop into a real scorer over the season. The thing that I lack confidence in is the backups for Cumberland/Williams/Scott. Somebody needs to keep the offense running while those guys rest. At least one and preferably two of the Moore, Fredericks, Broome and Diarra combination need to be a scoring threat or our starters are going to run out of gas. |

I have always thought of Jarron as a player who would have some difficulty being asked to create offense. He passes well but if he needs to put the ball on the floor he has some difficulty. I agree with you he needs help.

Moore in my opinion is trying to be a complete player instead of just a spot up shooter. He will pump fake and drive to the hole instead of giving the ball up and resetting and waiting for the rotation of the ball. Broome is a player who has trouble without the ball being in his hands. I really like him being on the wing because I think he is our second best 3 point shooter. I hope he can find it in himself to do what the coach ask and stay on the floor. We need his scoring. Be it off the bench or in the starting line up. |

I assume you mean the deflections. Scott mentioned it in the post game presser.

I think Williams potential on D is much higher than his offense. I think he can be a very solid contributor on offense but not spectacular. He can be spectacular on D.
Broome still would not have to be buried on the bench even if Williams wins the job on the wing because of his D and rebounding capabilities. Broome is still miles ahead of Moore and Fredericks. There are minutes available. Even if he is not starting he can still get 20 minutes or more in some games. We still need to "feed the pig" and go with who is hot at times. Offensively Broome is still your 2nd best option. He scored more than 13 points 11 times last year. And that was on a team that had 4 other scoring options with him averaging 20 mpg. Who is going to do that this year? Not Brooks or Nsoseme. Not Jenifer or Johnson. Not Fredericks or Moore. Williams has an outside chance. |

It's a lot harder to create when teams evaluate you as the teams 2nd best scorer then it is when teams evaluate you as the 4th or 5th best scorer. Hopefully, as other players (Scott, Williams, Johnson and even Brooks/Nsoseme) develop into bigger scoring threats it will make it easier on Broome. This is true for Cumberland as well, but Cumberland is big and strong enough that he can take the other teams best defender. Cumberland is also such a good passer that it keeps opposing D's a little more honest. |
