With two facilitators the level of Hall & Egor out there — I think it works. Mag is NOT a toothless offensive player.

You can leave a 30% shooter wide open.

Not when he hits from set spots at a significantly higher rate.

You mean like Rutgers did last year? I'm glad it is so easy.

He's not a high-volume shooter. Those guys' #s sometimes get skewed cuz a high % are late in the clock & off script.

SinkingQuffa

Funny thing is, Gideon is a better shooter than Mag

Gideon was a fine shooter when he didn't fancy himself as a volume shooter. Mag's feel for the game seems

SinkingQuffa

That’s what Jaxon Robinson was in b12 play

BYU '80

Jun 2, 10:23pm

Granted, the majority of those were very difficult shots. His 30ish% amounted to a lot of pressure on a D.

SinkingQuffa

Jun 2, 10:26pm

Majority? That’s overstating it by quite a bit. Some of them yes

BYU '80

Jun 2, 10:31pm

Not possible. Jax was VERY rarely wide open when he was anywhere close to the line.

SinkingQuffa

Jun 2, 10:32pm

I watched the games. He was often wide open.

BYU '80

Jun 2, 10:42pm

My main issue w Jax (which doesn't seem to be an issue at all w Demin) is that he didn't attack the rim nearly enough.

SinkingQuffa

Jun 2, 10:54pm

So is Demin the focal point of the offense? or will it be something like last
