Trevon and Edmond

Postby muskyfisherman » Sat Nov 19, 2016 9:32 am

After watching these guys closely...not just this year but last as well....My advice is STAY IN SCHOOL! Not only for selfish reasons of wanting X to go far :D ...After watching yesterdays game I watched a few pro games last night. Our guys need some serious work if they have any hope to play at the next level....ball handling and especially shooting...seems everybody in the league can fill it up from all over the floor...and I am not talking 30% from 20 feet and 60% from the line....you can't get to the rim if guys don't respect your shot, period. Athleticism can carry you big time thru high school/AAU and a little in college but the skills are what earn you $$ in the league...Stay in school...practice your butt off...get your degree...don't listen to agents and family...and friends....you literally make more money at COSTCO than flippin burgers in the D league...I know this falls on deaf ears... :roll:

If you are a first round pick go for it. I do think Ed has a lot of work to do particularly shooting and turnovers.

One of the announcers made similar remarks.

Ed has almost abandoned his outside shots and teams are defending to keep him out of the lane. He needs to develop the outside shot and use it.

The season is young and things may change but as of now here's what we are looking at. Trevon is not overly athletic and has an average handle. He will only be a guard in the NBA. Right now he is shooting 41% overall and 26% from the three point range. Those are not NBA caliber. Edmond is VERY athletic and he (to me) is somewhat like Semaj. He went is the second round and is just now hanging on in the NBA. Edmond is shooting 50% overall but only 13% from three. he has 15 assists and 16 turnovers. Now, don't get me wrong because I think the world of both of them but it might be best for them to stay and improve as much as possible before entering the draft. Again, the numbers may improve but right now they are not there. But, like skyhops said if either of them can be first round picks they should go for it. Go Xavier!

How big do you want? X still will have O'Mara and Jones with yet another HUGE Jones as a frosh.

I think Tre's 3 point shooting will get better. He made 40% of 200 attemptsnlast year.
Ed's a bigger version of Semaj and at this point is not a very good 3 point shooter.
Shot 30% last year and actually his last 11 games last year he only shot 20%.
Agree that teams are laying off him to try to keep him from driving the lane.
Regardless, I believe both will be playing professionally next year.

If they stay, we will still have a ship open. I think Chris would take a fifth year big.
