Big 12 POY 2010-2011

Dunn is certainly a strong possibility. I am going to be interested in seeing how the loss of Carter and Udoh will impact his ability to get his shot from the perimeter. He has a slow delivery and I noticed that he had tons of great looks last year. Interestingly though, I said the same thing regarding James Anderson (losing Eaton) before last season and we all know how Anderson ended up torching the Big 12 so who knows.

It is a good point. If defenses are able to leave Walton open from the perimeter (I don't think they will be able to but jury is out), then Dunn will be forced to get points in the mid range game and taking the ball to the hole.

He does a pretty good job of both when he wants to but his tendency is to rely on his jumper. Outside of Dunn, Baylor's outside shooting is a huge question mark. Anthony Jones likes to pop them, but he's a 30% shooter from 3. Perhaps Perry Jones will provide an outside threat. His form is very good.

Stargell Love has no jumper. AJ Walton is suspect even though his offseason improvement in his jump shot has been good. Nolan Dennis has been a disappointment so far... Unlike Page and Obi for OSU, I don't know if Baylor has the consistent outside threat to complement Dunn.

But really KSU and Pullen has the same issue. Lots of unproven shooters at guard. And no one like Clemente to draw defenses and allow Pullen good open looks.

I bet Rodney Mcgruder turns out to be a good shooter.

I bet Rodney Mcgruder turns out to be a good shooter.

he's already a good shooter. needs to improve his handle more than anything. more of a 3 than a 2.

I bet Rodney Mcgruder turns out to be a good shooter.

He needs to be much improved or KSU will struggle to live up to expectations. They need another perimeter scorer or scorer period.
