2. If we were talking about the kid standing beyond the 3 point line alone in the gym and shooting 50 shots, you'd be correct. We're not. The level of competition at Missouri is much different than that at Pepperdine and the guys who will guard him will be quicker, more athletic, on better teams and typically with better coaches.

Just because a guy shoots 38% from 3 at Pepperdine or at Eastern Illinois or at Loyola or at BYU, it doesn't mean he would in one of the top 3 BB conferences.

I'm stunned you're disagreeing with this.

With This team we will not get beat on the boards - MizzouFanatic MU - 4/15 12:12:34

Didn't we out-rebound Baylor? - Cosmo MU - 4/15 14:17:30

An advantage of shooting 3's when short.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 4/15 15:00:55

Nope. Lots of size. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 12:25:15

Every teams has weaknesses. Last year it was - BadAsh SEC - 4/15 18:10:24

Agreed. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 19:03:25

replacing them and it being a weakness are not related - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 18:23:34

Agreed. I can't say if it's going to be a weakness or not. - BadAsh SEC - 4/15 19:19:24

Yep. It's incorrect to say a possible unknown is a weakness - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 19:21:28

Every team in the country does have potential weaknesses. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 19:56:56

you'll know weaknesses a couple weeks into a season - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 20:00:26

So, it's pointless to guess at weaknesses but not strengths? - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 20:07:16

I've said nothing about the team. Nothing. - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 20:09:51

My original point was about the team. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 20:56:36

Everything isn't about you nm - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 20:58:38

TJ has difficulty with reading comprehension - tigerboardnoob MU - 4/15 23:17:05

Top 4 guards shoot over 33% from 3 in their - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 12:42:56

Okay, you don't think it's a concern. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 12:52:22

Pressey has made it a point to improve his 3 - MarineinMO USMC - 4/15 13:12:44

Jabari is a big time shooter.... - MUKdC MU - 4/15 17:13:31

Dixon and pressey both shot 36%. - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 12:55:27

Phil is streaky. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 13:04:06

We were spoiled last year having 3-4 guys that - MarineinMO USMC - 4/15 13:14:09

Makes sense to me. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 13:21:31

He shot only .08 less per game than dixon - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 13:08:16

Averaging it out doesn't disprove that he's streaky. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 13:11:00

If you want to be picky. - MarineinMO USMC - 4/15 13:24:48

True. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 13:30:25

Why is shooting at auburn or pepperdine different from - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 13:14:06

Fine. Before they even play a game, 3 point shooting will be - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 13:21:16

Those guys have played NCAA games nm - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 13:22:20

Pepperdine isn't Missouri. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 13:26:47

To assume bad, is no different than good . Nm - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 13:28:40

Oh good lord. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 13:30:50

It's not unproven. You're just ignoring the stats - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 13:35:16

They. Haven't. Done. It. Together. At. Missouri. Yet. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 13:39:09

shooting the ball is shooting the ball. - high.nrg STL - 4/15 14:59:58

Sure, but the level of defense isn't the same. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 15:05:52

One of the guys is from the sec. So that makes no sense nm - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 15:57:23

"One" - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 16:56:24

This is an insane stance you're taking nm - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 17:33:40

Not insane to suggest that you wait until transfers - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 19:01:02

Insane=suggesting auburn never played Sec quality defenses - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 19:18:54

1. Auburn's SOS isn't anything special - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 19:59:47

using stats and history is more accurate than guessing - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 20:02:08

Logic is helpful too. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 20:07:49

it's only a concern to you nm - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 13:41:01

I'm not alone. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 13:46:21

oh well two of you then. big deal. - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 13:48:34

Thanks. - tjwheeler UI - 4/15 13:53:47

I hope we have a chance and try a lot of 3's, - GA Tiger MU - 4/15 12:45:53

Look at game stats, college or pro. You'll see - GA Tiger MU - 4/15 15:15:25

That's true, but without equal effort on both - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 16:00:47

Must have had some good coaching on it. I think he - GA Tiger MU - 4/15 12:47:07

The difference in a 35% and 45% shooter is about 1 make - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 12:46:48

I'm skeptical of that. But too lazy to do the math now.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 4/15 12:48:02

Most regular guards will shoot 100-125 a season - MIZtigerZOU MU - 4/15 12:52:17

Ok. So I'm a believer.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 4/15 12:55:23
