Re: second-year FG% decline - SCU was forced to play in Santa Cruz County for 2 months (@ the Warriors G League arena) due to Santa Clara County COVID restrictions. This meant the team lived out of a hotel and had to split court time with 3 other teams (SCU women, Stanford men, Stanford women) and had no more than 2 hours/day for practices. Can imagine how little time that left to get shots up individually and shoot your way out of a slump...
Good point OG Bronco. I would also like to add that he was coming off an injury and was not able to practice for over a month prior to going to Santa Cruz #no excuses

Great point made for sure! Always background information that is important to tell the story as the numbers don't always paint the bigger picture.
Thanks Tyler for opening my eyes to a guy that neither I, nor any of my pals knew about. Great video and analysis!
Always Patrick! Glad you enjoyed the piece. Thank you for taking the time to read it
Perhaps due to his growth spurt, he definitely has that smaller guard craft in a wing-sized body.
