Good as our leading scorer. Their percentages aren't great but considering the type of shots they shoot (which is the bigger problem), those percentages aren't terrible. Overall, yes, I'm extremely encouraged by Emery. Basically, everything I said in my OP. Can't emphasize it enough.

His best days are all ahead of him.

We are playing for the future I have no problem with Rose playing Emery.

2/8/16 9:02pm

Even if we were playing for the present, Emery needs to be on the floor.

Unfortunately we don't have a junior or senior that is better, so you are right

This is a perfect example of how to skew numbers to makes them say what you want

You took the positive numbers to make your point

Haha. Chase is our leading scorer and plays a similar position.

Dude I love you. You're one of my fav people on the board

Also I bet if you asked nick he would say he is not shooting well

gurt

2/8/16 9:44pm

My point was, he's shooting as good as Fischer and no one seems to be talking

True but leads the team in laying of eggs on big games.. By a large margin

Not necessarily true. He's had some good games in some big games.

It's pretty obvious he is the most talented player on the team. He's just a TF

He just has to learn to not jack up crap shots. That will come with experience.

2/8/16 10:19pm

^^^This!^^^ When he's not selfishly forcing shots, he's awesome.

2/8/16 10:30pm

I don't think he sees this as selfish. I think he really thinks those are going

Maybe, but forced shots deny teammates open shots. Bad shot selection is just a

2/8/16 11:04pm

Who on this team outside of Seljaas has good shot selection?

Dillinger

2/8/16 11:06pm

So true, but Emery & Fischer hurt the offense more w/ their bad shot selection.

2/8/16 11:57pm

The timing of those"crap" shots is usually pretty good. Also, he doesn't take forced shots where he's
