When you've seen literally twenty of the videos it paints a clearer picture. Tharpe looks for his shot in all the highlights when he has easy passes to wide open men under the basket. It seems that when Tharpe does pass he drops it off to his right. Tharpe looks really good, though. I just wonder if he's a pure point.
Are you wondering, whether he's a pure point guard because you feel he looks for his shot often or missing guys open? I think Tharpe does a heckuva job knowing where and what to do with the ball when using a screen. Seems like he's been taught well.
By the way, some "pure point guards" are capable of scoring.
I like how quickly Sampson gets off the floor. Long, agile kid.
It's a highlight film so almost all the shots go in, but he routinely passes up wide open teammates to take off-balance or contested shots. It's acceptable as a fifth year high school player, but it's not going to fly at Kansas.
I don't think just because a point guard has the ability to score that he is therefore not a point guard. You seem to specialize in putting words in my mouth. All I'm saying is that there should be an absurd amount of alley-oops to that freak of an athlete in every video.
Maybe, he'll be able to play within the confines of what Kansas want. Whether, he does or not.... That is now Kansas issue.
Sometimes, it's not always easy to figure how where someone is going in their description via the internet. No offense, but you've also been known to romanticize, so maybe I have jumped the gun a time or two with you. No harm, no foul. It's all good.
The "freak of an athlete" should get his chance a few times to catch alley-oops and swat shots when he's in Queens a season from now.
