TJ's eyes lit up once he saw Cole was guarding him

Yeah, everything is falling into place for him. We might have our Hauser/Strus type 3pt specialist.

I havent been able to watch the game, just took a quick glance at the box score though and Gary Harris with 6 shots already and the 1st isnt over?!

Things are looking up for him but I need more volume. Sam Merrill went 5-8 from deep against Pacers' A team last night. That's what we need.

We've been well overdue for a 2nd rounder/unsigned player to make it to our rotation
Probably wouldve happened earlier if we actually used our 2nd Rounders more often

My hope is that with recognition of having a volume 3 pt shooter more work will be done in the offseason as a team to identify different ways to react to the defense to get the ball to Houstan
Havent had one like him since T Ross/Fournier

I think Jett’s career could be salvaged, but not here. His game isn’t suited to be molded into a Harris/Houstan like low-volume/low-frequency shooter.

Team needs to make the effort to put the ball in his hands so he can take those shots. He had 4 games last year where he shot more than 10 3pt attempts. This season only 1. I think that’s largely due to reduced ability in the team to get him the ball.

Weltman is extremely patient, if there's a chance Jett is redeemable he'll get that chance here I think.Bensational wrote:I think Jett’s career could be salvaged, but not here. His game isn’t suited to be molded into a Harris/Houstan like low-volume/low-frequency shooter.

I'll be impressed if we pull out a dub here
Pacers depth has been one of their strengths past couple years
