Exactly my point. Martin had his reasons, and the hate on McBee is unwarranted.

You mean he didn't start him because UGA was going to be a W and he could risk it? How ridiculous is that commentary

He started for the reason I stated, and started the 2nd half, though somebody said he didn't play pg again. He entrusted him to get it to Stokes and Maymon early. When they come out, getting it on the box isn't as big of a priority.

And a coach will take 39% from 3 all day. That means you get basically 12 points on 10 attempts, which is the same as hitting 60% on 2 pt shots.

You continue to avoid the question of if ccm trusts him so much why didn't he play the final 5 minutes?

Martin ALWAYS starts the same 2nd half lineup, go back and look ONE minute in skylar got burnt and in came golden, ONE MINUTE! PATHETIC!


And I love your 2 point 3 point theory. So golden by that theory shoots like 80%. Cause ya know he shoots about 50% from 3 and hits about 36% from three which is in your theory about 55% from 2 point field goals. Damn that's impressive maybe golden should shoot more?
Clearly ccm isn't happy with 39% because he made comments that he needs to get Ito the gym and improve his shot. So as you say If you disagree with the coach go talk to him about it.

A coach wanting a kid to shoot better and to get in to the gym is more groundbreaking material from you.

Any more nuggets?

And if your mind can't grasp a concept, it's best not to take jabs at it. It makes you look like a fool. I'll try to explain it again for you and type slower.

40% on 3's on 10 shots = 12 pts

How many 2 pt shots out of 10 attempted need to be made to equal 12 pts? 6. 6 of 10 is what? 60%. Therefore, 40% from 3 gets you the same points on the board as 60% from 2.

I thought I was agreeing with you. My point was, if a person has a problem, it should be with Martin instead of McBee. I have no problem with Martin. He knows a heck of alot more than I do.

You said ccm would take 39% all day, he had said he's not happy with the way he's shooting, that means he isn't taking 39% all day.

The bigger problem is 30% in sec play...you think that's good? Really? That's what ccm has a problem with, you think he'll take 30% all day?

And I've asked 109 times why is mcbee not out there the final 5 minutes if ccm trusts him so much?

Did you watch anything prior to Ware's shots or just them falling through the net? If you watch the whole play, Skylar wasn't playing terrible defense. He didn't play great D by any means, but to say it was horrible is just stupid. He fought through a ton of screens/chased Ware around a good deal. Ware was on fire and making shots over everyone to start both halfs and many of his shots he had a hand in his face. What more can the kid do if UT wasn't willing to switch on screens?

As for his shooting, he's still leading the team in 3pt%. The kid is never going to be a spectactular Ray Allen-like shooter, he was a walk on for goodness sake. But he's the best we have right now and I'd much rather him shoot the 3 than Golden. I think you're just butthurt that your idol Golden got sat on the bench.

Because a team down may be pressing, and Skylar isn't a guard that can handle the press or trap. The opposing team is also probably driving quickly and attacking the basket, and Skylar cannot keep the other teams best and quickest players from the dribble drive.

So it's coincidence he scored 90% of his points on mcbee and noboy else? Poi mcbee hat bad luck he has.

No he's not leading the team maybe you should go recheck the stats genius. Jajaun smith was also a walk in but he was a hell of a Better player than mcbee is or ever will be both offensively and defensively.

Haha far from butt hurt it showed how horrible mcbe is at PG and that clearly once again golden is the best PG we have. Plying mcbee at PG last night proved this incase you didnt notice.

You said he's a very good ball handler last night? Yet he's not capable of handling a press?

Fact of the matter is no one cares what you think, coach must see something in him. This is the second different coach that has played him extended minutes, but many keep hating. I have no problem with the coaches decision, pretty sure he may know a little more than us.

Technically CCM is the third if you count Jones. IMO, his skin color, like Rogers on the football team, is the reason for a lot of the hate.

Exactly. But what that clown fails to remember is who the first guy off the bench is when UT needs to hit some FT's. Bye bye Golden, hello McBee. If that's not trust I don't know what is.

Haha re watch the game idiot golden wa still out there. Woo hoo mcbee can shoot free throws congratulations!!!! Let's play him 40 minutes. He got in with 27!seconds left game in the bag and we knew they'd foul, yes e can hit free throws is that really your argument? The guy who plays point the final 10 minutes and down te stretch isn't the guy ccm trusts, but the guy who comes in up 8 with 27 seconds left to shoot free throws is? Haha that's funny

I love how you bring up consistency in your argument about McBee, and you're also the biggest Golden fanboy I've ever seen. Golden is the most inconsistent player on the team. If everything doesn't go his way early you can just mail it in that night.

Fact is that he is coachable and plays within the system. You could have a Jerry Green like streetball team that loses its discipline. McBee is a leader. You need players like that to help gel the "team" together. If Martin didnt think he was an asset he would not be out there. He gives defensive pressure without fouling which is what Washpun has to work on. Besides these arguments why dont we just watch this team grow like they have been and be supportive of the staff and kids. GO VOLS

39% from 3 is acceptable, if not pretty darn good. Skylar is at the disadvantage of the corn-fed, Jimmy Chitwood persona that our fanbase has labeled him with. He hustles and he plays smart moreso than anyone else on the team, which at times, isn't saying much. He is an above average (not great) shooter. He just struggles in most other areas by being at such a disadvantage physically and athletically.

Skylar shoots 81%. Care to guess what Trae shoots from the FT line?

Answer: 81%...and he has shot nearly four times as many.

You make yourself look silly on here quite often.

Still waiting for you to repost where I said such.

Sunday mornings have become fun. I get my coffee, then correct you for about an hour before starting my day. Making up bs to try to support your arguments is weak, but unfortunately its becoming commonplace.

Both are good ft shooters but the perception is Trae chokes under pressure when the game is on the line. Someone research this.

You are truly stupid if that's all you got out my post. You're telling me Golden has shot more FT's than McBee?? Damn where'd you find that precious little nugget of info? You must of dug real deep in the archives for that one. Skylar makes clutch FT's; please, please, please don't make me bring up all of Trae's clutch moments this season.
