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.

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

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.

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

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 am sorry if it offends you that words have meanings.

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.
Ozymandias
11/6/19 1:40pm
I think this is a silly argument...nobody actually thinks players do make most
coug10278

Then dont use the word most, if you dont in fact mean most.
Ozymandias
11/6/19 1:49pm
Ok, yes sir!

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

Why? Seljaas is same height, quicker, better rebounder
Yohy

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

I brought up 5

Nixon will play 20-30 minutes a game this year

He shouldn't take any 3s. Ever.

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

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

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