As for Jontay’s former frontcourt teammate, Jeremiah Tilmon is working on a new part of his game: the 3-pointer. The 6-10 center is taking 1,000 shots a day, 400 at 7 a.m. and another 600 in the afternoon. Tilmon didn’t attempt a single 3-pointer all season, but he’s working to expand his range.

“It doesn’t look bad,” Martin said. “It didn’t look bad before. It’s just the reps. You tweak his rotation a little because he palms the ball a little when he shoots it even if you watch his free throw. If he can get a lot in and he knocks them down and works on it in practice he’s allowed to shoot them in the game.”

This doesn’t mean Tilmon is going to reinvent his game and make a living on the perimeter jacking jumpers.

“I don’t know if that’ll become who he is as a player,” Martin said. “Because he’s so strong and physical and really improved around the rim just in his few workouts. Once you get in that second season, even the summertime you see things different because you’ve been through it and it slows down somewhat. He’ll be a tough guy to defend around the rim. Late in the season he did a good job going against the double teams.”

Translation: Tilmon is still a post player — but maybe with a new tool in his belt.

Possibly the best early news of the offseason: - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 07:45:14
     but nobody in the NBA plays with their back to the basket - tigerinhogtown STL - 3/15 11:58:08
          MU is a college team (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 12:00:08
               but if you want the 4 & 5 star guys, you need to be - tigerinhogtown STL - 3/15 12:01:52
     Greg Cavener was more effective.(nm) - Fool on the Hill MU - 3/15 09:34:01
     Still think he'll be first-team all-SEC next season? (nm) - hou4mu MU - 3/15 09:31:38
          Yes, if he means what is said there (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 09:33:36
     I think a lot of work not only needed by guards to make - GA Tiger MU - 3/15 07:55:22
          fiji is full of shlt a lot of the time, but he is right on - alwaysright MU - 3/16 10:15:56
          It was based on a little more than that - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 07:59:23
               Your last statement is simply false. - GeorgiaTiger76 MU - 3/15 08:49:02
                    Mathematically that wasn't significant at all - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 08:54:40
                         That's ridiculous. A 31% increase is absolutely significant. - Mizzmi27 MU - 3/15 09:03:25
                              Well 68 minus 52 actually equal 16 not 31 - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 09:06:13
                                   So your argument is FT's are not important and players shoul - Mizzmi27 MU - 3/15 09:18:36
                                        No, my argument was detailed in the post: - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 09:20:54
                                             RE: No, my argument was detailed in the post: - stl0404 MU - 3/15 09:35:47
                                                  Really? - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 09:40:35
                                                       Gonzaga, Tennessee, LSU.(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 3/15 09:56:00
                                             No, mathematically a 31% improvement is significant. - Mizzmi27 MU - 3/15 09:33:24
                                                  As I clarified above: 68-52=16. Not 31 - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 09:35:27
                                                       You should stop talking Math. 68/52 = 1.31(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 3/15 09:38:13
                                                            You don't do a % increase on a %. It is already normalized - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 09:42:13
                                                                 You're right. But it's still significant. I'd be interested - Mizzmi27 MU - 3/15 09:52:24
                                                                      16% is a pretty large increase, its pretty rare for - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 11:06:49
               it came out later that that was a misquote - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/15 08:32:59
                    That is a full swing in the other direction though. - alwaysright MU - 3/16 11:49:45
                    That is a weird development, can you link that? - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 08:44:52
               That's a 1000 air balls (nm) - Uncle John MU - 3/15 08:22:39
               RE: It was based on a little more than that - tgr MU - 3/15 08:04:29
                    Agree last offseason was a misallocation. Hopefully - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 08:09:46
                         Hopefully Cuonzo doesn't allow him to dribble or guard - tgr MU - 3/15 08:15:47
                              Ha, almost forgot FIJI questioned why Tilmon was practicing - Mizzmi27 MU - 3/15 08:30:34
                              Just to ensure I understand your contention - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 08:25:51
                                   What would he practice to prevent the fouls? - tgr MU - 3/15 08:28:22
                                        RE: What would he practice to prevent the fouls? - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 08:29:23
                                             That doesn't answer anything. His getting position in the - tgr MU - 3/15 08:31:36
                                                  absolutely it does. Roughly 50% of the fouls he - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 08:37:11
                                                       So you really think that half of his fouls were offensive - tgr MU - 3/15 09:14:29
                                                            Roughly implies a high level estimate, but certainly - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 09:17:39
     Developing his shot wasn’t all he did last offseason - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/15 07:51:19
          feejie just throws crap out there and hopes it sticks. (nm) - go tigers MU - 3/15 08:17:51
               "Martin said Tilmon shooting about 1,000 3 pters each day"(nm) - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 08:27:44
                    Link Please?? (nm) - longtimereader MU - 3/15 10:20:32
                         Here you go: - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 11:04:17
          It's another of his nebulous arguments - Domino MU - 3/15 07:57:40
               Yep - Cosmo MU - 3/15 09:29:54
               it’s just funny how many here have been - wu-tangtiger MU - 3/15 08:35:11
                    He is our best player, and his improvement was highly - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 08:38:39
               RE: It's another of his nebulous arguments - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 08:00:53
                    Thanks for being predictable - Domino MU - 3/15 08:04:28
                         Most of the board has finally caught on. - Mizzmi27 MU - 3/15 08:07:24
                         That doesn't make sense, but ok (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 3/15 08:07:12
          What about the stupid fouls especially on the offensive - tigertix MU - 3/15 07:54:50
               That improved a good amount this year too. - tgr MU - 3/15 07:58:44
                    It's better, but can get a lot better. (nm) - Uncle John MU - 3/15 08:24:52
                    Yup, about 20% drop in fouls - Domino MU - 3/15 08:00:08
                         Exactly. If we had another big that could guard the - tgr MU - 3/15 08:08:35
