TC needs to focus on his strengths and involve everyone around him. We all know and have commented that this team can be led by a different guy every night. TC is one of 5 guys. If we ain't hitting on all cylinders we will not be advancing in either tournament.

Definitely agree.

Holy ego dude, your wrong just deal with it, it happens to even the best of us

Listen. If the question was too difficult for you to understand, all you had to do is say that and I would have asked it in a different way. No need to go off on the "You're wrong" tangent. Try to continue with your stance or don't make it in the first place if you can't respond to a question about it.

This is what you said. Then I said caupain led the conference in 3 point % last year. So your statement is incorrect which means it's wrong.

Caupain is shooting about 30% this year on 175 2 and 3 PT jumpers. I don't know of any player in the country shooting 37% overall and playing over 30 minutes per game. Or shooting 37% overall and leading a team in FG attempts. Caupain shoots 37% and the rest of the team combines for 46%. Yes he did lead the AAC in 3PT% last year. But not only is this year's number more recent, but it offers a bigger sample size. He didn't even average to make 1 3 per game last year. Hardly unreasonable imo to ask some questions about his shooting at this point.

Close to SKs numbers as a junior...

hopefully the difference is TC will have a much better supporting cast. He will not need to carry the team

What's your point? This season proves he's on track to becoming an All-American?

His FG is 6% lower finishing at the rim, 7% lower on two point jumpers and his eFG% is nearly 4% lower total. Also Kilpatrick played with ZERO inside scoring presence that season, whereas Caupain plays with Gary Clark and Octavius Ellis. Caupain is a nice college point guard, but hasn't shown to be anything better than an honorable mention all-conference player. It really isn't comparable...

Didn't say they were the same. Said they were close. Thanks for proving my point...
