Good pulls, thank you. I still have trust in him as a shooter and player, but damn, he picked the worst time to go ice cold at home. When he was usually the only 'shooter' on the court, it was hard not to notice how horrific he was to end the season at PBA. Unfortunate for him, because he had a big part in the comeback @ NW and the comeback attempt at Ohio State. Played well at Penn State... but we all know how that game went.

And to add to the discussion re: comparing his back cuts and movement off the ball to Keisei... he tried to move off the ball, but he didn't have a passing big like Walker or Mast to find him. I don't know if tape would show this, but it felt like he didn't do as many back cuts towards the end of the season because it was usually all for not.

While it's not an exact comparison, people need to remember the Keisei wasnt the Keisei we loved his first year. He came in with hype from that shooting video and then was very average. Then suddenly his game evolved and he exploded. Not too dissimilar from Essegian, although Essegian ended up with comparable numbers from deep to Keiseis better years. Let's hope he can add another dimension and consistency to his game. He could be our primary scorer if he does.

Did Keisei improve or did he just finally get his shot once Bandoumel got hurt? Only reason got extended playing time his Junior year was Bandoumel got hurt.

Both. He really wasn't lighting the world on fire when he got minutes. But then yes that injury forced him into the line up and he hit his stride.

He started putting up numbers as soon as he got extended playing time. He wasn’t good in the few minutes a game he was getting before because he’s a streaky sniper, he needs to get into his groove and they didn’t allow him to. I think it’s more likely that he was always that good and once he got his shot he “exploded” than he improved enough to explode mid season.

Essegian is kinda all alone out there as a shooter as well, at least Tominaga had Wilcher and Lawrence and even Mast. Worster, Gary and Buyuktuncel aren't as big of a threat as outside shooters.
