In the past we always had problems with spacing when we have our 2 big guys in at the same time. I think Big Dog has done so well when Pat is out because nobody is in the lane except him and he is surrounded by perimeter shooters who are making their 3 point shots. We are ranked 33rd in the country in 3 point shooting percentage! Everyone is shooting over 30% except Kwan and Ivey. Last year we were ranked 126. That is a big leap. Pat and Big Dog are both post up players. In the past when we play two post up players it makes it easy to double team and it clogs the middle. That is why Kwan is always at the foul line or at the 3 point line when he is at the 4 spot. It will be interesting to see how much they play together and I think it depends on how well the other forwards are playing on whether they play together.
Long time no see! I was doing some reading about the draft and thought I would pop my head in. Looks like Souders was on the combine list but is not anymore. Wondering if that means Columbus is signing him, or if he has opted to try his luck overseas rather than heading to MLS. Also of note: Jared is coaching one of the combine teams with (surprise) a Timbers coach as his assistant http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/01/03/rosters-named-2016-adidas-mls-player-combine-ft-lauderdale
Unfair? If it's unfair to compare the performance and growth of guys playing the same position, for the same school, in the same conference...what would be fair? I would like to compare MAC championships won during their 4-year careers, and also NCAA tourney games won. Hope Big Dog makes that an interesting comparison.
I hope that means we gave something good going on at that position r that Avery Cagle turns out to be a beast. Williams when healthy, was good, but we need so e height at that position. We need the blocking support and another outlet for Woodson.
