We'll never know on this board, of course. :drinks:

He made 4 three's in game, something neither Semaj Christon ever did or Ed has done. He's got solid form on his shot, better than both Semaj and Ed. Semaj had a funky chicken wing elbow and Ed kind of flicks it up there.

I don't think it's out of the question for Goodin to make 35% of his threes, especially if they're solid, open looks. He's not going to make 3 or 4 a game obviously, but he could knock down 1 or 2 a game, and that would be a big help for this offense.

This made me laugh. So true. If there's a chance in hell Ed or anyone in his ear is reading this board, I sure hope they take it with a giant grain. If we shot the ball like this (last few games) when Ed was in the lineup, we'd have 20+ wins.

Semaj Christon isn't really relevant here (though both Ed and Goodin are probably better shooters).

As for Ed, I imagine if he was left as wide-freaking-open as Q was, he would hit a few threes. Creighton gave Q the same treatment that UC gave Dee Davis his senior year; they chose not to guard him. Just as Dee was not as good of a shooter as his 5-5 on practice threes, so too is Q not as good as his 4-7 on practice threes. I do not get how people somehow try to reason that Q is a better shooter because he had ONE good shooting game when no one guarded him.

In a renewed effort to get the thread back on point, all you have to say is you would or would not put both Ed and Q on the same floor at the same time, with Q at the point. Your answer will instantly reveal your basketball IQ......or maybe you overall IQ.

Ed air-balled a wide open 3 earlier this year in Cintas. Also, teams play off Ed because they know he can't shoot. I agree, anointing Q the next Steph wild, but I don't think it's inaccurate to say that we could have more hope for Q's outside shot than Ed's.

Q has airballed multiple threes, regardless I think he's a better shooter.

He will have to show me that he is a better than 50% free throw shooter before I would agree that he is capable of shooting 35% of his threes.

Realistically there was likely not enough tape for a true assessment so Creighton took the approach they thought would work and got burned. However, teams that play us still have to guard Tre and JP from the three and at least some on Kaiser so Q is likely to get some open threes with those guys around.

I think he's marginally better than Ed from 3. Like I said though, I'd be very happy with 32% from him and he's the last one I'd want taking a three outside the centers. His shot has greatly improved from last year to this, so hopefully that can continue.
