Not that a shooter can't do it, however the odds, specially for a freshmen, are just not in the shooter's favor.
Thus I would say it was a coaching mistake and agree that Taylor, Ceaser, Clark, Johnson, Jiri, or Grey would have been better options due to them being warmed up.
As Brock gains experience and matures I think he'll find a way to contribute on a limited basis. For a walk-on, he a good get.
I still don't understand why he comes in, then, during the last minute of games to shoot "cold" threes. He's proven many times that he can't hit the broad side of a barn in games. WHY is he out there. No one can tell me that we didn't have a better option than him to do it, 4 fouls or not. I had the same reaction when I saw him checking in, I finally accepted another L.
