I don't ever want a 1, 2, or 3 (or even 4 these days) who can't shoot. That's not new. We've had a lot of that in the past and it doesn't work. Obviously Williams is going to be around and part of what we do, so we just have to hope he shoots better. But to this point, it has been really bad. Sorry if that upsets you. But it's true. Notice I didn't give him an F, or even a D. He does other things well, and I gave him credit for that. But a guard with those shooting numbers isn't getting a good grade from me, much less a B+. |

Jacob....give Williams a break! He started off 1-10 from 3 and 1-8 from the line. He's only a freshman. High energy is hard to control. As he gets more comfortable, his % will steadily rise. He takes it to the rim easier than any player on this team. Merry Xmas to all.
Go Bearcats! |

KJ could not shoot or drive. Dixon was sub 30 percent for his career. Sanders played a lot of minutes for us and wasn't good at either one. |

I have no doubt that Keith will come on strong. I don't think his mechanics are all that bad and he will continue to get minutes because he is the best on the team in the full-court press. IMO as always. Go Keith throw up 15 points in the next game and quiet this thread.

Really confused why any of this would be met with such strong resistance. I want Keith Williams to be as good a player as he can possibly be. Period. I want our team to be as good as we can possibly be. Period. I just don't see us being as good as we can possibly be down the road, if Williams doesn't make more progress than 30% as a 3 pt shooter. |

I'll just say this...if you're fine setting the bar for Williams at 30% 3 pt shooting, you should be screaming that every recruit we land for the next 3 years shoots like Trevor Moore. Bc when Clark, Washington, Broome, Evans, and maybe even Cumberland are gone in 2019-20, we will have L Johnson, Williams, Moore, Scott, Brooks, Diarra, and Nsoseme so far. If defenses pack in on any combo of those lineups, how good is Williams going to be at driving? Even LeBron James would struggle for space in a lineup like that. |
