Max Hooper

Amazing, everyone and their mother complained about our outside shooting this year, and now we have a shooter and you all want him buried on the bench, unbelievable

Long time fans have been sold a list of alleged shooters who have never panned out: Luyk, Lyson, Hemphill, Shurina, Sophie Marceau et al. Pardon my skepticism, but I'd like to see at least one go in before I anoint him the second coming of Heath Orvis.

Yet you hated two of the programs best shooters Rowan and Wright. Go figure

I think this debate about how much Hooper will be used misses the point.  I don't think a 3pt shooter off the bench answers our problems at all.
Why is it that our "shooters" have to be single-skill players, and other teams have guys that are relatively well-rounded but happen to be outstanding shooters?

Look at the 3pt leaders from the Big East, besides Hancock, very few have the limited skill set that Hooper and Marco exhibit.   I see names like Cotton, Porter, Napier, Starks, Fitzpatrick, Southerland, and Fuquan Edwin.  These are guys who can do a little of everything on a basketball court, but happen to excel at shooting.

A shooter off the bench isn't what we're missing.  It's nice to have, but the deficiency I see is that the guys in our rotation who get the majority of minutes are (for the most part) poor shooters.

too much is bein made of this player and this thread.

How do you make "too much" of Max Hooper in a thread titled "Max Hooper"??

I don't hate anyone. All about the love. Rowan was merely over rated. Wright wasn't here long enough to be over rated, except by you.
