If Haws got Yoeli's same looks, Haws would be 60%

I like that yoeli shoots them occasionally to keep the defense honest, but I'd love to have him cut his fadeaway shots and his 3-point attempts in half, and have him double his baby hook shots in the restricted area.

This won't be a popular take, but...

This will be a very popular take.

Umm. We all hate that fade-away crap I think

I guess you guys are too young to remember Karl Malone. The fade-away is nearly

Yes, I thought of KM. I do think that a kick out is also helpful.

Except KM's drift backward was not nearly as large as Yeoli's right now. Yeoli

The NBA won't want it. LMA is the only NBA player that shoots that way anymore.

I agree, think most will actually

That being said, I pray that he comes back next year!

Mostly a fair analysis. Wish he had a better motor

On 3s...shooting 33%. Haws is shooting 35%. FWIW

He needs to shoot in the restricted area or open 3’s

gmoney7

2/18/19 7:46pm

He's really only good from the top of the key on 3s

My big issue with him is he never follows a shot. None of rhem do.

Yes, with all the problems on the team, criticizing our best and most consistent

Kinda what I was thinking too.

Even our best player has room for improvement - some of it effort-based. No?

BYUfan92

He is terrible defensively. Very poor effort

Money on offense but sometimes a liability on defense

icecougar

2/18/19 11:03pm

He may be money now, but if he quit with the frequent ill-advised shots he would

Only two things for me....rebound more...and stop ill advised 3 pointers.

WJCougar

I agree with everything you said.

FootBackwards

2/18/19 8:18pm

I understand the frustration, but I think he does a fairly decent job of reading

StalwartBraveTrue

2/18/19 9:23pm

A little more kicking it out to open shooters might be good too.

civilcoug

2/18/19 9:34pm

If he has any hope of an NBA career, he has to be able to shoot an NBA 3pt shot

ManicBlue

2/18/19 10:50pm

He needs to be infinitely better on D because he's a tweener...

icecougar

2/18/19 11:05pm

This is absolutely the truth - he's out of position on "D" A LOT!

jaba166

Agreed

You and others complain too much about his fadeaways. They are decent shots most of the time. His FG% is .515

Fade away is a great shot to develop

byublue42

2/18/19 11:41pm

I think he air balled 3 of them last game . Just saying

Fadeaway midrange shots are the worst shot in basketball

thebruce

Came here to say this. It's a shot you can get 100% of the time and on this team

Good take

I would love Yoeli to face up more from the mid post.

almost all his 3s are wide open and he shoots at a similar % to everyone but haw

5. Needs to pass quicker when the double/triple team comes. Too many TOs there.
