I would be willing to be that has never been the direction to any head coach we have had under Sarver.
and the results have been very easy to see
It doesn't make sense to battle for the 8th seed unless you have a young core
TJ's threes mostly come from the corners. He needs to develop the shot from the top of the arc if he wants to be a real three-point threat from the SG position.

The SF position? I am ok with him just shooting it from the corner as long as he continues to hover around the 40% mark. That is plenty enough for defenders to respect him and open up his devastating mid-range game.

Besides, his patented "you thought I was standing still but now I am gone and ready for an open pass for a layup/tear drop before you know it" usually starts in the corner. That is his spot.
Hope the following occur:
- more consistent minutes for TJ, Len, Booker and we can finally see what we have in Goodwin. Whats the story with him now anyway?? Weems has been playing over him lately
When Morris threw the towel at Hornecek it was reported that Goodwin was yucking it up and getting a good laugh from it. I wonder if there was any repercussions from that?
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

I thought the same, but Hornacek mentioned Archie in the rotation in that KTAR interview.
That's one of the reasons I'm down on Archie. I think he's caught up with the Morris' from last season and because he hadn't been getting PT (which had complained about last season), he took to them and their BS. Misery loves company.

Agreed. I was responding to Pickle's comment (which I should have quoted — it's on the previous page) that his three-point shot makes him a good fit for the SG position. But, at least for now, he does his best work near the baseline.

Yeah he's definitely not an outside threat yet. I'm hoping that he can develop into it a bit more though and help space the floor on the offensive end. I don't know if he has the speed to stay with quicker 2 guards, especially as they get smaller and quicker in the modern game.
