October 21, 200916 yr Wall Bledsoe Miller Cousins Patterson I agree withyou and observer here. You have to have Wall/Bledsoe on the court. Miller better step up and play like he can IMO. Nice options to have Orton/Harris/Stevenson coming off the bench. My concern is a true 3 point shooter. I was not impressed by Dodsen, I thought he was a deer in headlights at Madness.
October 21, 200916 yr Wall Bledsoe Miller Cousins Patterson I think Orton is first big off the bench and Dodson is first guard off the bench. Stevenson will play some for length and shot blocking ability. Harris will play for defense and toughness. Hood could see some time if someone starts playing zone. Liggins will get some clock and will play much better than last year, but I still think he will be up and down most of the year, but if he has developed a solid jumper it will be hard to keep him off the floor. Harrellson will struggle to see action I think.[/QUOTE] Dont count JORTZ out yet....my man was lighting it up from downtown during Madness. LOL

I think he will struggle and just because he was hot in what amounts to one practice don't start calling him a shooter or scorer. Unlike our previous coach (He who shall not be named) practices don't mean a whole lot to Cal. Results durring the games is what will win or lose playing time. I hope Harrellson can contribute, but I just don't see any reason to think he will, but that is just me.
October 21, 200916 yr Just giving my 2 cents. I think he will struggle and just because he was hot in what amounts to one practice don't start calling him a shooter or scorer. Last year Josh shot a better three point % than Porter, Miller, Slone, Krebs, Harris, and Liggins.

I don't know of a single player in history that is considered a shooter after only 15 shots. By your same logic AJ Stewart was the third best 3 point shooter on the team, and Mark Halsell was the best 3 point shooter in the country.

October 21, 200916 yr Author Miller was coming on as a shooter toward the end of the year, and I look for him to continiue that this season.
October 21, 200916 yr PG: Wall SG: Farmer SF: Miller PF: Patterson C: Cousins Liggins or Dodson at the 2

The guy can shoot.
October 22, 200916 yr But it shows that his shooting at BBM wasn't a fluke. The guy can shoot. How in the world does 15 shots show a guy can shoot? I have seen Shaq hit more than 5 of 15 free throws. That does not make him a good free throw shooter. I guess since Ramon Harris shot a higher FG% than Jodie Meeks last year he is a better shooter than Meeks.
October 22, 200916 yr Definately: Wall Bledsoe PPat Cousins These four spots to me are a given. If I want to go big , Orton or even a possible Harrellson. If I want to go smaller but still have size Miller or Dodson, and both threats. I think Dodson is more of a sleeper in that we don't know what he can do or when/how long he can do it for. Same as Liggins, which imo is even more of a wild card but will contribute in small portions. Hood, just don't know yet and don't want to judge. If I was choosing who I think he will start, I'll add Miller to the equation.

October 23, 200916 yr So your argument is that Josh is a bad 3 point shooter? Not at all. My argument is to not put to much into last years performance based only on 15 shot attempts or on BBM since it is similar to a practice. He may be able to shoot the lights out, but I want to see it on a more consitent basis. I think Josh will struggle to see the floor this year with the talent on this team, but I wish him nothing but the best.
