I agree with most of your post. But he has had plenty and I mean plenty of wide open looks this year. Being open is not his problem

#3. Stop blaming Will Wade
I never blamed WW for anything. WW was an amazing coach and great for the culture of LSU basketball. He clearly cared about the fan base and the students and putting LSU bball on the same level of our other sports.
The point I’m making is that it is the fanbase, which in my opinion consists of individuals who are fair weather basketball fans who put it below other sports at LSU, simply took WW’s word for Ace’s ability (based on practice, mind you) instead of doing their own research and looking at the facts.

Miller was crushing it in practices at LSU and Wade prior to his ACL.
Was it Charles Manning or Darryl Edwards who Wade said wouldn’t miss 3 pointers unless the lights were off?
Wade mentioned Adam Miller just about every time he was asked about the team’s poor shooting past year.

OK, thanks for making the thread telling me how to feel about LSU basketball.
Did you make an account just for this purpose?

My brother, it is a fact, not a feeling, that Adam Miller is hot garbage. Do yourself a favor and compare his statistics in his year at Illinois and here.
You’ll see that they are strikingly similar in terms of efficiency and production. Every narrative LSU MBB fans spout to defend Adam including: “he isn’t healthy”, “he needs to play for a better team”, “he needs less shots”, “he needs a smaller role”, etc. were all present his year at Illinois yet he still put up garbage production. Shooting 30% from three in conference play when you’re supposed to be a sniper is poor.
If your best and only evidence that he is a good shooter is that he was shooting well in practice then you’re huffing some serious copium.

This is good. We needed another thread about how bad Adam Miller is.

I’m just tired of WW stans defending him because he said he was killing it in practice.
We’re talking about practice, not the game, practice. How silly is that?

It’s true he is the same player he was at Illinois and I think people took WW’s comments and ran with them. Fans heard he was going to be some savior and lights out shooter because that’s what they wanted him to be. The fact is he is a role player that’s it. He isn’t going to carry a team.
As far as an ACL not affecting a jump shot is just straight BS from someone who hasn’t played any sport. Jump shot. It’s two words. If you think an ACL doesn’t affect jumping then you’re an idiot. Also, you sound just like an idiot who came on here during football season telling us all how JD was this mechanical marvel as a passer. Yeah pretty sure that was you under a different name Mcinsanewhatever.

An article explaining a peer reviewed study from Stanford that proved ACL injuries have no impact on style of play or performance. This isn’t the 70s where ACL injuries end your career. Healthy Adam was still garbage. Just go look at his stats at Illinois, please.

I’ve had two ACL surgeries. You can absolutely come back from it but it will affect something 12 to 18 months out from injury, like a jump shot that a given player has been perfecting his entire career. I never said it was specific to Miller.
But go ahead and read some more academic studies done by people who haven’t played any sports. Tells me all I need to know about you and your “QB evaluations as well”.

I don’t see him as being able to consistently get to his own shot. Nothing wrong with that. It’s fairly common in fact.
Looks like to me he needs a rhythm that doesn’t include multiple dribbles. Run him off two screens into the first two-thirds of the the three point line pass him the ball if the defender goes underneath and let him pop.

I’ve never done any QB evaluations lmao. Y’all love accusing me of being a hit and run account or whatever, I’m not.
I don’t think it’s fair to compare a normal person (assuming you’re not a D1 athlete) recovering from an ACL tear to someone who has D1 genetics and medical care.
Again, Miller was still trash prior to injury. 30% from three is not good for someone whose only job is to be a shooter.

He is a lock to play in the NBA. The almighty Madking said so and he knows everything about college basketball.
Posted on 2/5/23 at 8:21 pm to mcmaniacinsaneasylum
I would say that the lacking of shooting during recovery would be more harmful than his ACL injury

Wilkinson has shot >40% from 3 every season he has been here… I bet there aren’t too many players that can say the same.
Just keeping it real.

Thinking his injury majorly derailed him is delusional.
Ummm delusional is this statement. Your shot is all about your legs. Saying missing an entire year and trying to recover your form from that offseason is completely understandable and justified.
I’m not sure how someone who played and sport would say this. Hell, Joe Burrow is not the same QB he was before his injury. Watch him.

McMahon is a questionable hire for head coach. This team has underperformed from a competitiveness perspective so you’re blaming Miller.
He had Wilkinson who has shot >40% from 3 every single season he has been at LSU and he started Miller. Why?
Maybe, Miller is a rhythm shooter and his offense isn’t getting him those shots quick enough.
Stop trying to cover him Scott Rabalais.

Do you honestly think Joe Burrow is the same? He is indeed not as mobile or runs with the same level of escapability as he did prior to his injury.
That is a fact.

You obviously don’t even watch basketball. Wilkinson started at the beginning of the year but saw less playing time due to the fact the severely injured his shoulder in the early part of the season.
Don’t even compare an ACL injury in football to basketball it’s not the same sport
