re: If Blakeney can break his slump we are dangerous

He is falling away from the basket when he shoots.

I don't think he shot that way in high school.

The kid should be driving to the basket with his vertical nobody could stop him. Do that until the outside drop falls.

Instead of automatically taking the long three, he needs to start driving to the basket more and either pulling up for a much shorter jumper or taking it to the rim and scoring or getting fouled. He did that a couple of times this game and was effective.

Yea he tries to release at the peak of his jump but he gets 35 inches in the air

Tell him to start shooting mid range jump shots

I'm with the skeptical crew who is not sure whether or not he's slumping or is just not that good. It's hard to imagine there's an All-American hiding under that performance this season. Obviously, he has the skills and athleticism to be good, but I'm not sure somebody who could be great would not have flashed that in at least a game or 2 yet. Maybe he just needs more time to adjust. Here's hoping.

Has everything to do with shot selection. Seems like everything he shoots especially tonight, he had a hand in his face. Unless your a very very select few, you'll be lucky to shoot a good percentage that way. You can tell he wants to contribute. No way he should leave for the NBA right now, just isn't ready yet.
