Freshman have to be drooling over possible playing time. Unless they are cursed like Clifton Moore.

I agree but not about Moore. He just isn’t good enough. He has looked lost ever time he has been out there. Archie and crew are trying to win games now, they can build Moore up in practice. Think of it as the Wisconsin model. Seems like every 2 years there is a new RS junior for Wisconsin ready to play that nobody has heard of.

Reality is Clifton isn't ready to play in the B10. All he wants to do is shoot jump shots. If he doesn't get this then he will transfer. This is the reality of the situation with him.

whats his 3pt fg% this season? Is he capable of shooting 35%+ next season from deep?

I don't know,

This is a blurb about Hunter before the start of this season referencing playing at IU:

At 6-foot-7, Hunter is the perfect size at the small forward position for the college game and knows how to use his terrific frame to his advantage. Hunter is at his behind the three-point arc, especially in the catch and shoot scenario.

Good teammates would know when they're playing with a shooter on their team, if they attack the lane, defenses will start to crash on them which opens up the perimeter and allows open three-point jumpers.

Put a fundamentally sound point guard on the floor with Hunter who can drive to the basket and is enough of a threat to score and pass the ball as he's making his way to the hoop will give Hunter opportunities almost every time down the floor.

Not only would Hunter be a key target in penetration, but also in different offensive scenarios such as being a screener and leaking out behind the three-point line for an easy triple.

The only caveat with being such a great catch and shoot player is this isn't high school ball anymore.

I’m not sure on specific stats, but I don’t think he’s an excellent three point shooter. Decent at best. But maybe he shoots 35% from the stripe next year who knows. We thought Hartman would be a great shooter and that’s certainly not the case!
