I'll eat crow when I need to - Casey seems to have the light coming on for him offensively. Yes - it's against a bit lesser competition, but this is good live game action he's doing this against so I'm tickled for him. Want to see him keep growing, take this momentum with him into the season...

And he'll hopefully develop - I may have concerns, but it's just concerns at this point. Not writing the kid off as some have pointed out. It's a little bit of microanalysis on my part sure, but it was a really big spot that I happened to see live...so that made it a bit more impactful in the...

He did more of that in HS than he did hitting 3's from the videos I've seen. I would have liked to have seen him try to drive it, make the D rotate, and even if he doesn't go to the rim himself, maybe the defense rotates and gives one of those other 4 guys an open look. But again...it's a "what...

Well, you only had 1 instance out of 8 on the season that said he could make a 3. :ROFLMAO: I guess what I'm saying is with his length/athleticism, he gets a head full of steam...I like his chances at the rack against Filipowski of at the very least drawing a foul and getting to the line...

I get all of what you're saying, but I think what it comes down to is...do we like Casey taking a 3pt'er in that spot, or do we like Casey faking past Lively and driving down the lane with a head full of steam towards Filipowski? You like the former, I much prefer the latter. The former is what...

I get the nuance to your point as far as having a red light/green light. I don't think Coach L's nature is to give red lights to about anyone. ****...we've seen Tonye Jekiri jack up 3's in the past :ROFLMAO: I can see your point about Coach L being upset if he didn't take it...I just think the...

I just respectfully but vehemently disagree with you both. Basketball IQ says in that moment, you're down 1 in the conference semis. You have the ACC POY on the floor, and several other really good scoring options. With under 6 minutes to go in that situation and Duke being on their heels...is...

I'm calm. It's everyone else freaking out over an honest, backed up opinion of mine, and putting words in my mouth. I've posted on message boards since the early 00's. Nothing new.

I agree with your latter statement 1000%. A solid game 12-15 foot and in isn't too much to ask for Casey at this point. I'm not saying he can't develop a better long range game as time goes on, but it doesn't need to be his go-to (especially in big moments as I highlighted in this thread). And...

Yep - and I trust L and the staff to get guys like Casey and Watson right. They'll get there.

How about you stop saying I'm writing him off when I'm just saying I have valid concerns? Those are VASTLY different things.

Not really. I saw flashes with Wooga that were promising as a FR, even if he was out of control at times as a FR (which is to be expected of a high energy wing like him). The best way I can illustrate my concern with one quick story - I went to the ACC tourney, was there for the game vs Duke...

I've got concerns about Casey and I hope I'm wrong - but his butt needs to be in the paint using his athleticism/quickness advantage over other bigs, and not out on the perimeter except in really rare times unless he gets his 3pt% up around 35-40%.
