mostly I say this because i think the step-back 3’s are not working-* Archived Message Posted by memyselfandillini on February 28, 2025, 13:28:56, in reply to "Ball hog? Disagree*" Previous Message Previous Message the number of times he has driven the ball towards the corners, gotten double teamed and thrown the ball away since he had no plan suggests he has some learning that remains at this level. * Previous Message But you can make a reasonable argument that a lot of KJ's struggles stem from the enormous offensive burden we have put on him, and the fact that the talent surrounding him has made his job that much harder. Previous Message not that I don't see the upside, but he's not shown great decision making/consistency/ability against top talent either... he's got some work to do Message Thread: | This response ↓ February College Hoops Thread - assassin February 4, 2025, 18:54:30 Ayo - biclops February 28, 2025, 22:20:36 I miss that* - Jackie March 1, 2025, 9:20:45 Braden Smith unconscious right now - Blazer February 28, 2025, 21:05:07 We’re destined to be the 8-9 - ab75 February 28, 2025, 16:48:00 I don’t think I care.

We've only had 2 games all season below 50% from 2: @ NW (48.5) and @ IU (44) - GMAW February 27, 2025, 15:10:30 You could say we were the worst shot selectors in the country and it wouldn’t account for - John Coctostan February 27, 2025, 13:30:13 Counterpoint: in the last 5 years we've had teams shoot - Blazer February 27, 2025, 14:49:54 too much emphasis on weightlifting * - memyselfandillini February 27, 2025, 21:30:00 I think the chronic nature of bad shooting could be a product of system in that - John Coctostan February 27, 2025, 15:20:19 Also, I think it was the Sleepers pod, but may have been one of the other random Illini pods - Blazer February 27, 2025, 15:05:08 But he’s really the only guy who does that consistently - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 16:18:39 I'm pretty sure Boswell has also taken way more off the bounce too - Blazer February 27, 2025, 16:22:43 I mentioned Boswell, but taking a bounce and jumping back and away with a guy in your face - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 16:47:30 Agree to disagree, but I think he's taken a huge number of the step back/hand in your face shots too - Blazer February 27, 2025, 16:53:10 Boswell's taken a bunch of bad 3s - jdl February 27, 2025, 17:34:32 That’s where I am. There are definitely a bunch of bad ones, but eye test wise they’re not like KJ’s - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 17:44:21 He just made one against Iowa - Blazer February 27, 2025, 17:38:17 It really is the eye of the beholder on this I think* - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 17:20:37 At one point early in the season those numbers were reversed - jdl February 27, 2025, 16:15:44 Step back threes are bad shots* - GMAW February 27, 2025, 15:06:33 You know what I miss? Shannon squaring up and hitting that little crossover move… - OB25 February 27, 2025, 15:25:46 By the definitions of this discussion, bad shot* - John Coctostan February 27, 2025, 15:47:34 I'm sure Shannon's splits between step backs and catch and shoot were dramatically different too - Blazer February 27, 2025, 16:08:16 But part of why I mentioned it is because his version created a lot more separation… - OB25 February 27, 2025, 16:03:51 20 words (OK, 19 words and a number) too many.* - Illiniphil February 27, 2025, 15:29:32 Of course they are. But Coctostan says they're open and players make them all the time* - Blazer February 27, 2025, 15:07:33 No I’m not. I’m saying we maybe take more than others. And that we miss way way more of those - John Coctostan February 27, 2025, 15:16:58 So we elect to take more off the bounce threes than other shots, which are harder to make? - Blazer February 27, 2025, 16:11:24 For fucks sake. You’re being a willing jackass now. I’m good. No more on this from me* - John Coctostan February 27, 2025, 16:18:38 Chillax man, just giving you a hard time - Blazer February 27, 2025, 16:25:11 I think maybe if you're taking a LOT of shots, and some are bad, that can impact the wide open ones - IlliniRunner February 27, 2025, 15:03:41 That’s a crazy number by opp which should come down. I think we are what we are shooting it* - CWR10 February 27, 2025, 13:24:06 I think we are at this point too - snipes824 February 27, 2025, 13:34:37 Teams we should be rooting against if trying to get on the 7 line… - OB25 February 27, 2025, 12:07:45 Wow, Oweh with a sick finisher against Oklahoma.* - voiceofreason February 26, 2025, 22:28:11 Two Last Four in teams headed to OT on ESPN2 (Texas/Arkansas)* - OB25 February 26, 2025, 22:20:55 Another never ending CBB game* - bjl63 February 26, 2025, 22:46:47 Really need USC to not get shit pumped tonight* - Blazer February 26, 2025, 22:12:05 We're in my man * - jdl February 26, 2025, 22:33:19 OSU 6/6 from 3* - biclops February 26, 2025, 22:28:41 7/7* - biclops February 26, 2025, 22:28:59 We should try that some time* - OB25 February 26, 2025, 22:51:11 Dain with 25, 10 tonight.* - GCIllini99 February 26, 2025, 21:45:09 Would be hilariously awesome if Indiana follows up the Purdue win by losing this game* - OB25 February 26, 2025, 20:52:06 MSU went 4-0 against: @ Ill; Purdue; @ UM; @ Maryland* - GMAW February 26, 2025, 20:39:55 MSU definitely has that team of destiny vibe this year* - Blazer February 26, 2025, 20:11:37 Or first round exit. * - assassin February 26, 2025, 20:22:02 I actually think Michigan is the most fraudulent of the top Big Ten teams.* - OB25 February 26, 2025, 20:49:41 Why not both?* - OrangeSox February 26, 2025, 20:22:41 You would think having a kid at MSU would make me like MSU more - GMAW February 26, 2025, 19:59:33 I’m the same with Mizzou* - Drippy February 26, 2025, 20:23:41 Iowa here* - NastyBoyd February 26, 2025, 20:46:43 man, i dislike Izzo and the horseshoe in his arse* - OWWDig February 26, 2025, 19:40:56 So much* - Ron McDon February 26, 2025, 20:12:10 That was insane* - illini21 February 26, 2025, 19:36:59 OMG* - snipes824 February 26, 2025, 19:36:20 Not really sure what that Maryland guard was doing* - Mrap24 February 26, 2025, 19:37:11 Trying to win the game?
