Hield needs to develop a midrange jumper. He was regarded by coaches as a volume 3 point shooters. The last few games, coaches instructed the defender to stay close to him. He needs to be able to drive by his defender and pull up a midrange jumper. The same as the one Isiah did to LSU at end of game.

Hield needs to develop a midrange jumper.

He also needs to work on his ballhandling. Stop going to the gym to just shoot, and get some ball handling work in. That is going to be his downfall in the NBA, mark my words. There were 3-4 possessions in a row later in the 2nd half last night where Buddy either lost the ball, had it stolen or poked away, or simply fumbled it away.

He dribbles way too high IMO. It's not like he's 6-9 or something. Get lower and develop your off hand and you can be a good dribbler.

Sadly, this wasn't the first time it's cost us at the end of a game.

Cousins dribbles too high as well. He handles it a bit better than Buddy, but I don't see him having NBA-level handles, so it'll be interesting to see how that plays out.

Sadly, other B12 teams have improved while we have not.

So you think we should just keep playing the same way and everything will be fine?

A bit better is an understatement. I don't know if Cousins will play in the NBA, but his ball handling is not a weakness anymore. His handles have improved dramatically just in 1 year. Sure it looks awkward at times, but he rarely gets stripped driving in traffic or against the press.

He's averaging less turnovers in more minutes than last year(when he was mainly a wing) while handling full-time PG duties. If he wasn't so streaky and had better court vision, he would be late first, early 2nd round material.

I was skeptical of Cousins running the point for us before the season started. But now, if i was a GM picking in the 50-60 range, I'd take my chances on a solid defender who doesn't have any glaring weaknesses other than FT shooting & I think that can be fixed with him.

How do you know he doesn't do that? Inside scoop?
