Skyler McBee

This whole argument is stupid to begin with, you're telling us all that all walk-ons should improve and should 45% from 3pt range simply because that's what they're best at. If everyone on the team had improved as much as Skylar has thus far, we damn sure wouldn't be 11-12. We'd be more like 18-5. So can we stop playing the IF game and focus on reality? Skylar is our best 3pt shooter, if you take him out entirely all teams would have to do is triple team Maymon and Stokes and call it a day.

It's unfair to ask walk ons to improve? Have you heard of jajaun smith?

I'm not asking skykar to become some elite player Altidore, he shoots 48% at home, that means he can shoot, all he's lacking is shooting on the road too. Even if he shot abou 35% on the road he be around a 40-42% shooter, that's good. I don't really buy the whole gym thing, skylar shot in opposing hs gyms, so that denies that theory. He's a shooter that's what shooters do, they shoot, I guarantee you if you asked skylar he would tell you he fully expects to shoot 40+% anywhere that he is, and that CCM would say the same.

I'm not really asking skylar to improve. In case you lived in a cave this is a guy who shot around 50-60% from 3 in high school, even road games. This is what the guy does, so no I'm not asking him to improve in asking that he shoot close to the same on the road as at home. I will guarantee you that if you ask him he would tell you there's no reason he should under 40% anywhere. When he came out we knew he couldn't defend, wasn't quick, not a great ball handler, but the one thing he could do is shoot. It's not like he came in a 20% shooter and in asking him to improve on that, he has proven what he can do, is it too much to ask for him to just consistently do it?

The whole walk on thing doesn't hold water with me, jajaun smith was a great vol and he was a walk on. Hell, he shot good from 3.


Plain and simple this is my point...skylar was a stellar shooter in hs, stellar shooter in the RTL, and has been praised for his shooting in practice and he shoots 48% at home. All this says one thing the guy CAN shoot. all I'm asking is that 48% maybe level off a bit and increase his consistency on the road to maybe 35% to where his average is around 41% or 42%. Is that really unfair to ask? I guarantee you mcbee and ccm dont think so.

Ccm said mcbee needed to spend more time in the gym getting his shot down. So is ccm wrong, should he get off of him since he's a walk on and shouldn't expect improvement from skylar in his shooting?
