After Devin went 5-6 from three point land and scored 19 points in 16 minutes of play, Devein was Named SEC Freshman of the Week!

Devin has actually hit 8-9 from three point land since he had missed 9 in a row.

Booker now shooting .458 from three point land!

His shooting stroke is so smooth. I'm not even sure his shots were hitting the net on Saturday. Great shooter and great mechanics.

I knew early on in the season when we were missing shots that I knew the shots would start falling again.

He can shoot the 3 ball with the best of them.

It should be noted however that even at 46% there is over 100 players in div 1 basketball that are shooting a better percentage than Devin.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-22-2014, 12:36 PM:

Yeah, but of those 100 players do any of them play defense like Booker does?

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-22-2014, 03:18 PM:

That is tough to say but Devin is a very good defensive player.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-22-2014, 03:19 PM:

It surprised me that there were so many players shooting that high of a percentage on their 3 point shooting.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-22-2014, 03:47 PM:

IT will surprise you how many coaches teach the zone defense!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-22-2014, 07:08 PM:

Jim Boeheim, has made a living using his 2-3 zone and will use it till he retires. He has won a lot of games with it but it slows the game down to the point watching play is like watching paint dry.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-22-2014, 08:01 PM:

In order to have a successful zone you have to have length and players have to move there feet!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-23-2014, 12:25 AM:

Boeheim has a knack of finding players that can play some great 2-3 zone defense and in all fairness Boeheim is a heck of a good zone defensive coach.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-23-2014, 12:45 AM:

HE should be. After 30+ years of running it he should have it down by now.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-23-2014, 09:45 AM:

That is what makes Boeheim a good coach as he has experience and knows what it takes to be a great coach. No one can question his record as it is one of the best. Got to give credit when it's due.
