35.7% from 3 is not bad at all.
I think in the last month he's hit as many as you or I. The Drake game made him look like Jamie Vanderbeken. Since then he's gone Sean Haluska.

There's a reason teams are leaving him wide open at the top of the key...it's a shot the defense is more than happy to let him take.

If someone would tell THT to take one more dribble on his drives and dunk the ball, he would be so much better. He needs to finish at the rim and not with some goofy throw up shot. I would take a couple charges if he would just finish at the rim.

This game is going to get ugly quick if we don't decide to defend once in awhile. That's the biggest issue with having freshmen on the floor. Offense adjusts a hell of a lot faster to the college game than defending does. The freshman were the best players on the floor and likely could get by on pure athleticism last year. A touch tougher against guys 4 years older than you are.

We are obviously going to live and die by the 3-ball tonight. Let’s hope we can D up a little and start hitting those shots.

With THT's body type and skill set, if he would take the ball to the rim more, I think good things would happen most of the time.
