slufan13 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Who was that white kid for Xavier a few years back who sucked at everything but was deadly from 3? If Moore can be that, he'll have a great career here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 33 minutes ago, Box and Won said: Redford? Yeah, Brad Redford. Believe it or not, he beat out Draymond Green for Mr. Basketball in Michigan when they were both HS seniors. "Redford put up video-game numbers as a senior. He still holds the Michigan high school record with 143 3-pointers in the season and with 102 consecutive free throws. Redford owns three of the four most successful free-throw seasons in Michigan history, including a .967 percentage as a senior to follow seasons of .931 and .914. He still holds the Michigan record for career free-throw percentage with .933. He is second in points in a quarter (27) and points in a season (953). He is third in state history with 12 3-pointers in a game, a mark he reached twice." His stats at Xavier are crazy, too, in how singularly focused they are. 59 2-point field goals attempted in his career vs. 457 3-point FGA. He shot 70 FT in his career there, never getting to the line enough to establish a rhythm and show off that skill. He runs basketball camps now. I'm assuming they have a shooting-heavy focus. If Zeke is a one-dimensional player but truly elite in that skill (perimeter shooting), I'd probably be fine with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmith19 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Makes me wonder if he could have put up Micah Masonesque numbers with more playing time. Mason pretty much sucked at everything else too, but Duquesne let him stay on the court and put up truly crazy numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets ruffled by a scarce high school crowd I'm worried what student sections will do to him. It looked to me like he was talking trash -- turning around to tell someone to be quiet before draining the free throw like nothing happened. How do you interpret that as his getting distracted and rattled? From the highlight video, Zeke Moore appears to be something of a poor man's Jayson Tatum with a better perimeter shot. If he can translate all of his game to Atlantic-10 level of play, then he can be a pretty good player for the Billikens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking trash is cool and all but wait till after you shoot the free throw. You're not Michael Jordan, kid. Don't get too cocky at the line.

What you may consider "too cocky" may be exactly what that player needs. The formula that works for you may not be universal. Some batters in baseball can hit better with an unorthodox stance than with a regular one, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have phenomenal range like true deadly elite shooters. His ballhandling skills are elite. He could run a dribbling camp. How that translates to D-1 remains to be seen.
