You're driving yourself crazy focusing on early exhibition play and simply ignoring his demonstrated DI history of outstanding 3-point shooting on high volume. You have every right to drive yourself crazy, but doing so ignoring what the guy has done consistently as a shooter? No idea why, but have at it.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people have a complete inability to comprehend words that are actually written in favor of those they want to read so they can react and be condescending.  I guess that's why they used to have that as a section on the SAT.  Some people can't do it and get weeded out.

Luke Goode was 12 of his first 37 threes last year.

 

Your point is...?  I did say "I assume that'll get reined in," and I also mentioned (twice) the quality of his shots.   It isn't all about the percentage itself......which I think is your correlation, right?  That Goode was fine until he wasn't and you're extrapolating that into the opposite in this case?

I scored very well on my SAT, but I got weeded out in college  ...

Oh no it’s the old GoColts showing his true colors. You be you. The SAT? Lol

Wilkerson is going to drive me crazy.   37 of his 48 shot attempts being 3's and making them at the same basic % as teams did for the last 4 years isn't gonna' work.

Wilkerson looked pretty damn good shooting 11-11 from the free throw line today. Shot 6-15 from the floor and 3-9 from three. 

Maybe, just maybe, that threat of him launching from deep pulls the defense away from the basket and allows him to get a first step on defenders. Because the kid scored 26 points on 15 shots from the floor.

That, Old Friend, is what people seem to call ‘modern basketball’; threes, layups, and free throws.  It’s a change that takes some getting used to, and today it was a breath of fresh air for me. Wilkerson shot 33% from three today, just like Myles Rice’s % last year. But he was nothing…nothing like Myles Rice. Wilkerson’s offense was a major factor in a gutsy IU win over a good team.
