David abromiwhiitz. Since I can't look it up, my best guess on spelling. It's been verified in the thread that it's X. Thames. I'm fffing around. |

Even without Pope, who was also doing so, we have four players shooting at least 37% from behind the arc. We haven't had that many at the end of any season since fornever. We're also shooting better at the line than we have in years. My recollection is many posters here were bemoaning how "terrible" our offense had become under Coach Fisher. Well, Dutcher has improved it and regardless of what happens these last couple or three weeks, I will continue to believe in the man.

Name the current player who thinks one on three is a great time to take a shot.

It helps when Skyler or JJO are setting up the high screen-n-roll. But a good stat nonetheless.
I jut want my Pope back for the tourney.

Name the current player who thinks one on three is a great time to take a shot. I wonder what the percentage is that he gets fouled when doing this, opposed to it just getting swatted. He's trying to draw a foul. Don't get me wrong, I think he does it too much. Having said that, he's done really good things here so far. |

Name the current player who thinks one on three is a great time to take a shot. Trick question -it's both Watson and Hemsley.  |

Couple things that are different:
1) X got to the line his senior year. Per 100 possessions X had over 13 FTA, Watson is under 7. Much of his value came from the stripe.
2) Rules changes and emphasis give offensive players more freedom of movement nowadays and shooting percentages have increased some. Placing it into that context X's numbers appear better.

It used to be Mitchell too but there were a couple time last night when he had the ball coming down court and instead of driving to the hoop against 2 or 3 guys, he pulled up and passed it back to a trailing guard. I really like the way he's playing now. He's picked up his defense but unfortunately he hasn't quite figured it out yet because he's picked up a lot more fouls too. But he's going to be such a stud for us. He kind of already is. |

Sorry, Watson drives me insane the way Win Shep used to drive other people insane. I hold him to a different standard since he was supposed to be a point guard.

By way of background: so far this season, Devin Watson is shooting 41.3% from the field overall; 37.4% from three. His points per game are well down from his sophomore season at USF (20.3 to 12.5), almost entirely due to reduced shot and free throw volume - he's also playing fewer minutes per game. ____________________________ I am an Aztec starter from the Fisher era. I shot 41.1% from the field and 37.4% from three my senior season. Who am I? Spain? |

But he's going to be such a stud for us. He kind of already is. Concur. It appears he has dialed back the cross-court passes over the past few games. Those were driving me insane. He was logging far too many TOs per game due to that bad habit. I went back and checked the stats. Mitchell is averaging 2.2 TOs per game, 3.3 per 40 min., and 4.7 per 100 min. As a comparison, Kell is at 1.5, 2.3 and 2.6. However, Mitchell does seem to be improving. Over the past 6 games, he's averaging 2 TOs per game, with a high of 3 and a low of 1. By comparison, he's had similar stretches where he's averaged over 3 TOs per game with back-to-back 5 TO games. |

Spain was better than that his senior year. 41.1%, 39.5%, 83.5%. Yeah, but I'll never forgive him for taking that wiiiiiiiide open trey in the corner for the game winner against Tennessee for SDSU's first NCAA Tourney win and getting nothing but clank. Just kidding. Sort of. |

By comparison, he's had similar stretches where he's averaged over 3 TOs per game with back-to-back 5 TO games. One of Mitchell's biggest issues with ball security is the home run pass attempt. He got away with them early in the season; not so much lately. On the other hand, the pass that everyone is raving about lately, the on the move bullet pass up the court to Kell, was also one of those high risk home run pass attempts (but at least it was crisp and not floated). His other big ball security issue is a common one for 3/4/5 players, i.e. attempting to dribble drive into the key from behind the three point line. He gets stripped by help defenders relatively easily, when in high school he could get away with that more. |

Yeah, a lot of Freshman hopefully learn quickly that you can't get away with that stuff in the big boys league. |

Spain graduated the year before. |
