of their 3s. At least over a season. A little clunky but I understood it as 30-40% like we would expect someone who is reasonably reliable from distance.

How should Pope use Nixon if he continues to miss most of his 3s?

Nobody on the team, or even in all of college basketball, will make most of

Nixon is a lifetime 10 for 44 (0.227) shooter from 3. That's what he's referencing.

Indy Coug

Yep, he is missing most of his threes. Now tell me what player has made most

Ozymandias

11/6/19 1:39pm

To stop missing most of your threes doesn't mean you need to make most of your 3s

Indy Coug

11/6/19 1:41pm

Uh, yes it most certainly does.

Ozymandias

11/6/19 1:42pm

OK so you're going to for some reason be anally retentive about the word "most" and ignore

Indy Coug

For a stats guy, I would have thought the meaning of a quantifying word would

woof. he got you Indy

If you think "most" is a precise term, then that probably explains your problem right there

Indy Coug

11/6/19 1:53pm

Well I suppose it is more of a problem if I were a stats guy and failed to

Also, nice strawman. I never said it was a word of precision.

This is the strangest angle to take on an argument I've seen. I think everyone

I didnt realize that using words correctly is some weird line in the sand.

I am sorry if it offends you that words have meanings.

Ozymandias

I'm more offended by misspelled words.

Great. Happy to fix that for you. Clarity is important.

2 of 19 is a not "most" of his shots. It's about 10%. 30% is a minimum.

52Cougar

11/6/19 1:36pm

30% still means he would be missing most of his threes.

Then dont use the word most, if you dont in fact mean most.

Ozymandias

Ok, yes sir!

Interesting statistic for you about jimmer.

Keep playing him. He is one of our only “Bigs”.

Dangerous

11/6/19 1:34pm

Why? Seljaas is same height, quicker, better rebounder

Yohy

11/6/19 5:08pm

Nixon bigger. Weighs more. Need some extra pounds

Cougforgood

11/6/19 5:32pm

Then why does Zac get more rebounds? Quickness matters.

Yohy

11/6/19 5:59pm

Are we really talking about one games worth of stats?

Cougforgood

11/6/19 6:05pm

Well last year Zac averaged 3.5 per game and Nixon averaged 2.6

Yohy

11/6/19 7:00pm

And no, not really at 5. Perhaps 4 and when Child’s is back he guards 5.

Yohy

11/6/19 7:03pm

I brought up 5

Cougforgood

11/6/19 10:15pm

Nixon will play 20-30 minutes a game this year

Cougforgood

11/6/19 1:56pm

He shouldn't take any 3s. Ever.

SpiffCoug

11/6/19 2:16pm

I guess when he gets the ball with 2 seconds on the shot clock he should just

Lance71

Yes.

Yeah, it's frustrating he can't regain his HS form by now as a college senior.

Mitty

Bench him every time he takes a 3 for 10 minutes on the clock
