How much of this was due to Epps ?
Wasn't he running offense the whole time ? Our team ball handling also seemed much better.
Only two TOs in last 10 minutes of regulation and OT. Yeah- we looked better with Epps out there as it gave us another scorer when we were struggling.
https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap/_/gameId/401483313Epps did a good job of putting some pressure on the defense by looking to score. Clark doesn't look for his shot as much or try and penetrate. He looks a little unsure right now. I guess he was a big scorer in HS and is trying to be a distributor first.
He needs to just ball.
I think Epps has a pure scorer mentality and never saw a shot he didn't like and is just doing what he does. Great hesitation dribble, a good floater, changes speeds really well, can find a crease and get in the lane and get his shot off. He is averaging 10 ppg and 8 shots per game in just 23 mpg and despite Dumbfcknik saying he would never be able to get his 3 point shot off at this level is shooting 38% and has hit 15 threes already.
He uses a rhythm dip on his 3ball and it is more of a one motion shot as opposed to his mid range jump shot. Watch the NBA and you will see a lot of the really good 3 ball guys dip the ball. Kid is a baller and instinctive. Clark is thinking a little too much right now. And has had TO issues the last two games. Needs to just play.
