If Joel berry couldn’t make it in the league then EC better learn how to shoot. Only players that can’t shoot in the league are usually 6 8” plus and can defend like no bodies business. Even then they are few and far between. While I think Joel maybe could have landed in a spot for a backup, he was still small and got pushed around a lot against those guys.
I doubt if he couldn't shoot he would have not been the top rated pg in the class and UNC's top target. Time will tell hoss.
I’ll admit I use the term can’t shoot loosely lol. I think he’ll be fine but I just don’t see him passing JB. Would love to be wrong for sure.
We're going to be underdogs at Clemson, almost surely. So I'm finding it tough to think we "should" win that won. Could we? Absolutely. But probably at best it's a coin flip.
LittleJohn is never easy…Even when Clemson is bad they have always gave us problems there…Clemson has a good team this year…
Tw I’m optimistic by nature but I’m beginning to wonder if it will happen this year. We were far and away a better team with Seth. EC better bow up.
Right now you are absolutely right. We need them both to be where we want to be.
Exactly…That UNC team was loaded…I would rather play in HIS than Little John…
I was at that game. It was awesome hearing the volume of the fans shift in a second. The Clemson fans hated us that day.
Pitt's also a really limited offensive team. Despite Hinson's season, they weren't a really good offensive team.
Or you could compare him to someone his size and ability like JB. I’m not a Cole fan but he’s in a league ahead of JB and EC imo.
magic 8 ball sezz .. "could be" ... but doesn't have EC's pg mentality but he sure is quick !!
Dexter before the knee injury I can see some of but the way he defends and the way he does not look for his own offense is for me more akin to Kenny Williams but Seth brings much more athletism. I do see more similar to Dex in ball handling, that dribble is a little to high still. I think part of my hesitation to see more Dexter in Seth's game is that knee injury kind of stunted Dex's progress, never felt he played with that crazy athletism after he got hurt.
You sure you have enough "sample size" to support that? LOL I would put Pitt right about where Clemson is, not easy per say but if we have our game rolling is not within 20pts of us but of course if we have an off night shooting, like we had vs Pitt, they could beat us if we don't defend hard and physical.
I know it wasn't a serious comment, but 13-14 games for Clemson and Pitt, these teams aren't similar. Where you have them ranked in the ACC, I don't really care. For me, I think certain types of teams will give UNC more problems this year than others. I think teams need to be able to score and score efficiently to beat UNC. UNC is less likely to lose to defensive-oriented teams who struggle more to score IMO.
| Adj off eff | Adj def eff | 3PT% | 2PT% | FT% | 3PT Rate | |
| Pitt | 109.9 (76th) | 95.4 (32nd) | 33.7% (157th) | 51.6% (133rd) | 66.6% (299th) | 44.5 (41st) |
| Clemson | 118.9 (9th) | 97.6 (60th) | 39.0% (13th) | 56.2% (29th) | 75.7% (45th) | 40.6 (106th) |
RealtimeRPI has UNC's current record at 8-3. So probably not a serious metrics-based site if they can't keep current with the CBB schedule and results.
I can see a glaring diff in his game just in the last 3-4 games. I hope he’s not done improving. I think he’s figured out how athletic he is and sees now how to use it to an advantage.
I've been saying for weeks Seth is a big plus on both sides of the ball but to get him more minutes who gets fewer ???????
He's letting the game come to him. He "gets it" and it makes him such a better team player !!!
LOL, you may have used the term "loosely" loosely! LOL
