NEWS: Milan Momcilovic has committed to Mark Pope and Kentucky.

Momcilovic was the best shooter in the country this past season, and by far the best remaining player in the transfer portal.

Mark Pope gets his big fish.

@GabeyCardStacks Went last year and don’t even remember seeing any.

@Blaze7412 @CardPurchaser You’re just going to leave the good hit for someone else in the rest of the 4 boxes?

@rcm11bbn Do they know what it means to play at Kentucky though?

*jokes*

One positive from “whiffing” on Donnie. Injuries both seasons in college.

[Blue Coat Doug @BlueCoatDoug]

Kick out Jelavic, pass on Rancik, and then whiff on Donnie.

At a loss for words.

Something that drives me crazy about how fans evaluate shooters.

Kam Williams shot 28-78 from three this year. That's 35.9%. The narrative: he's not a great shooter, question mark on his game, can he really space the floor at the next level.

You know how many more threes he needed to make to be at 41%?

Four.

Four made threes over the course of an entire season is the difference between being labeled a guy who "isn't elite" and being called an elite floor spacer. That's one extra make every 6 games. A shooter's bounce. A rim that rims in instead of out. A night where the ball just falls.

This is the thing fans almost never account for when they're torching a player's shooting reputation on a message board. The difference between a 36% shooter and a 41% shooter on that mid-volume is not some massive talent gap. It's variance. It's sample size. It's the randomness that lives inside every shooting percentage at the college level.

And yet the perception gap between those two numbers is enormous. One guy gets questioned. The other gets coveted by every high major fan in the country. Same player. Four shots.

Be careful how quickly you bury a shooter based on a percentage. The margin is almost always smaller than you think. #BBN

A couple national media guys were saying Rob was a lock to Kentucky yesterday

Now saying he was never leaving BYU today

They’re all just paid agents
