Ol’ Roy and most NBA coaches are pretty damn smart.

If Tony Bradley or Walker Kessler could shoot as well as Dirk Nowitzki or The Joker from “3”, they’d be launching plenty of three-pointers.

How's Walker Kessler's 3 point shooting coming along? Oh. 19.6% on 56 attempts.

I loved Walker Kessler’s game in terms of what he could do well. Shooting the 3 was not one of them. His shot looked absolutely awful. One of the worst looking shots I’ve ever seen. It does look much better now, however.
 
Walker Kessler is a poor FT shooter. 53.7% on 404 attempts; he shot 52% on 152 attempts this season.

He “shoots” 70.5% from “2”. I wonder what percentage of his attempts are dunks?
 
I don't think this was a shot at HD, but more of a "you haven't seen everything I can do" type of statement.

It's also amusing because he wasn't viewed as a "2-way" player coming into college. He was viewed as an athletic defensive-first player who needed to grow into his offensive potential...which is pretty much exactly what he's viewed as now.

He got a good opportunity to show what he could do last year and was given an offensive role that largely flattered him (focus on transition buckets and open 3s, not expected to do too much driving while closely guarded or playmaking for others). But I'm sure he and his agent want the idea out there that he has a lot more in his bag that just hasn't been seen yet.

I think he’ll make in the league eventually maybe even next season.
 
It honestly doesn't even bother me. With yearly roster turnover, there's a very different attachment to players. This is Lubin's fourth different school he'll play for. I hope it works out for him, except when they play us.
 
It’s not like Lubin had any real attachment to UNC. No one should have expected him to take less money and less minutes at UNC. Players just aren’t doing that. He was good enough to have a market and he probably went ahead and maxed that out.

Some are still looking at guys leaving as some sort of indictment on the program when in reality it’s mostly just business.

Unfettered free agency means loyalty is gone. It would have been the same in every other era had the rules been the same then.

Money talks.
