Questions for the basketball experts

People continuously say that Maymon would be the answer to our offensive problems, but IMO this teams inability to hit a wide open 3 consistently is the biggest problem. We would still be facing that same issues with Maymon playing. Not being able to pass the ball to Maymon or Stokes in the post would still be a problem. Maymon would not improve this teams 3 pt percentage. Hitting the 3 at a NORMAL percentage would be huge for this team.

Thinking Q might be odd man out if we need a scholarship.

I think Q was asked to play a position he's not capable of playing. I'm not sure what got them thinking that a guy 6'5" that wasn't overly strong could play the 4. It would be unfortunate if he leaves because the staff tried to make an obvious backcourt guy into a front court player.

I don't fault McRae for that pass as much as others. He sees Skylar hit those all day in practice for 3 years. Skylar needed to make it. If he does, the crowd is jacked and maybe he and others get some confidence and shots start falling. It didn't work out, but i don't see that as bad of a play as others do. He didn't have a lane to the basket, iirc.

I thought it was acceptable, 50/50 play IMO, either choice was ok.

Skylar was WIDE open, those are the shots he HAS to hit.

There was not one 3 that Skylar took Sat. where he wasn't wide open. All were very good looks.

I think the only one he hit was when he had to get the ball up higher with a guy in his face.
Could be wrong though. Something isn't right though. Maybe a mixture of mental and the elbow issue. For some reason, I always shot worse with noone near me as well. I bet he is thinking "i'm wide open, gotta hit this". That's not a good thing, imo, but many shooters go through it. The less thinking, the better off.

But he still has to hit 3/4 of 7

Didn't have a lane to the basket?
Ever seen him play AAU?
PG under the bucket was never an issue.
Why is D1 different one on one?

I don't care about aau where someone will move out of the way and no d is played or fundamentals taught.
I didn't recall the pg being under the bucket. I recall him being more close to the ft line and McRae between the key and the ft line.
I think you are making a big deal. Either play was fine. Skylar has to hit the shot. McRae could have made a finishing move, or he could have turned it over. Don't believe CM had an issue with it either.

But D1 is plenty different than aau in one on one situations. Defense is played.

No big deal. Just like to see him get to the glass more.
Seems to start every game the same. chucking 3 pt bricks.

I hear you. I think he was trying to make an unselfish play and help a teammate get going. Hard to fault that sometimes.

I just like the fact we are arguing whether McRae should have taken shots.
