bigred360 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 Going to get a paper so I can read the rest of the article but IMO this is the key to a success team this season as they (newcomers) can all shoot the rock. Well except for Lamb, but he is a rebounding monster at the guard position and he is jet fast getting to loose balls.

Our prior years top recruits couldn't shoot the rock in real game situations.[/quote]The problem we have had in the past with some of our top recruited guards was that they were 6' or shorter and had trouble getting good looks. This will not be the case with Davis and Adams, which should open up the floor more for the slashers like Harris, Nelson, James and Lamb.
bigred360 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 Harris averaged 48% on treys last season at the juco level. I think he is shooting that good are better in the practice and scrimmages I've seen.With him, he isn't toeing the line but hitting them from downtown and he has the fastest release I've seen in years at Lamar. I agree with badndn as our guard are taller than in the past. It will help Harris and Lamb get to the basket on drives to the basket. Nelson and James have range out to the 3 point line and can drive and finish.I'm taking a little liberty with James as I haven't seen him play. But, have been told he can hit the three, dribble drive to the basket and pass to the open player whether he is in the lane or around the ark of the 3 point line or he can score at or above the rim.
bigred360 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 Yep, thanks for catching that. Brandon Davis is the one lighting up the scoreboard from downtown.
