Like there are 2 guys I would trust to take the last shot. Both have last names of Cumberland. Jarron can create his own shot and I would trust Jaevin on a catch and shoot.

I'd rather a wild shot get put up then no shot at all. How many times since WSU have we seem him not even get the shot off? Twice against Uconn alone. William's has had one chance, after Jarron fouled out, and at least his ball hit rim. No one else has got a chance.

Against WSU he was 8/9 from 2pt shots. It makes sense to give him the ball and see what happens. Since then he has been 7 for 28. That's 25%. When someone is struggling that much he should stop getting the last shot.

The Advantage with MAW is that teams don't know his tendencies all that well. They know Jarron's every move, they know where he is going. And they know he isn't an athletic dude.

The fact is.. Jarron has been fouled on every one of those players and I don't think he is going up and trying to only get fouled. I think he is going up to score and gets fouled but can't get a call because he is driving into a lane filled with 3 people

I could easily see maw being a Troy Caupain type. I think he already has a better shot. Isn’t as good driving the ball yet, but that’s a good comp. I would gladly take Troy Caupains career again from him. Solid 4 year guy

MAW goes to his left almost every time he drives. If he becomes an option in crunch time, teams will have scouted that. I'm sure he'll work on his right hand as his career progresses.

Maw is probably our best player next year

what would you LIKE to see.

I would like to see Jarron with the ball but utilize the alternative options when he clearly has a road block in front of him. Go to the rim when fouls are being called and use the bailout when they are not. Here have been at least a couple of games where the iso drive with Jarron wasn’t working all or most of the game. That would be a great time to use option B or C on a called play. We can’t always have Jarron using tunnel vision in the end. He’s too good a passer for that. I would like to see Jaevin get a kick out on a final play...he’s been nails in some clutch situations.

i agree with all of this completely. Jarron does need to make the right decision, but I think the options are there. He just has to choose the right one.

But he also probably feels like theres no way somebody can stop him from getting to the rim without fouling him. When the refs are inconsistent with the whistle, it makes his decision making tougher.

I think Vogt is decent, but if we’re relying on slowmo-tron to take us into the promise land we are in trouble.
