You can make fun of him all you want. I don't see anything wrong with stepping into the pass from the ref and shooting a jumper. If you can replicate the shot, who cares? There isn't a right and wrong way to shoot a free throw. If you make it who gives a damn. Rick Barry for example...

Actually you could argue Rick Berry is one of the few players in history who shot free throws the best way possible. Granny style provides superior arc and spin, especially if you are a big man. Only reason not to do it is pride.

You could definitely argue that. 90% from the line for your career is great. But don't try to tell Brandon that, it doesn't look good so it's wrong and should be fixed by the coaching staff immediately!

Reporting live from the parking lot of Hohokam Stadium. It might be painted green and gold but it still looks like a Cubs home game.

Pabst going to too well. Sunscreen needs to hold out.

The march to the championship begins!

I don't think you can go by that one game. But, I have no reason to disagree with you, either. Thought he looked like a quick kid that could develop into a Washpun type.

I've watched a couple of their games this year. The knock on Lane has always been he's not a very good shooter, which in the Big 12 or any P5 conference means he has to be an absolutely ridiculous ball handler and athlete. And he's quick and pretty good with the ball, but no where near good enough to make up for shooting. There was some borderline D1 talent in that game on both sides, but nothing P5.

I think one of us is in the wrong thread.

Update on M. Wright, Prohm and Otz going to see him during open period and looked to have prioritized him. Sounds like Wright is starting to get a lot of National attention (Oklahoma, Arizona and ASU getting involved).

http://www.scout.com/college/iowa-state/story/1656478-2017-pg-mckinley-wright-ready-spring-eval

Noteable

“I still talk to them a lot throughout the week,†Wright said of Iowa State. “I’m still one of their top recruits. They’re trying to get a 2017 point guard, so they still talk to me a lot and they’re planning to come to the first evaluation period.â€

And
“They said I play a lot like Monte [Morris]. They like how I win games, I’m aggressive on both ends of the court and I rebound well for a guard. So they’re trying to bring that in,†Wright said
