RECRUITING: Temple transfer Jeremiah Williams commits to Iowa State

Tamin may be the best free throw shooter on the team. His shot is there, just needs confidence..

Here is a link talking about the correlation:

Scouting NBA Three-Point Shooting

What factors matter most when predicting success at shooting threes in the NBA? The Harvard Sports Analysis Collective demonstrates that to evaluate shooting talent, free throws are essential.

I noticed this about him. Just very solid from the line , so you would expect more from the 3 point line. Maybe it's just a matter of him hitting a couple in a game.

Tamin shot 37%+ from 3 as a junior (66 attempts) and 22% as a senior (49 attempts).. If we could get him to meet in the middle around 30% next season... The ceiling for this team goes up dramatically. To put that into context... Jaren Holmes shot 30% from three in conference play

The 37% as a junior on a significant number or attempts tells me that he can shoot at the level and it is attainable. There isn't that big of a difference in distance between HS and NCAA, especially for a guy in Div 1 weight training.

Also, the USA basketball site puts him at 37.9% from 3 as a freshman in high school play. So the junior stat wasn't a fluke.

He's a senior.

But does he have a Covid year left?

Ward has 1 more year of eligibility if he so chooses. Dont think he will transfer because he will have to sit.

He should have been playing more like he was awesome today!

He hasn't gotten much of a chance. Seems to acquit himself well when given the opportunity.

His energy level has always been good - but his hustle has been very good in these last two games and his defensive positioning has been much improved. Hopefully he keeps it up - the Watson-King-Ward frontline is elite in terms of athleticism and energy.

And all (hopefully) returning.

I think Ward can be a key player next year. He absolutely has the physical tools and seems to be really coming on lately.
