re: Why does Petty play so poorly on the road?

I actually think this is probably one of Sexton's strengths, but he doesn't do it much. I'm not sure about Avery, but I've heard some talk of coaches not wanting many mid range shots - either get to the hole or try for 3. Sexton was very good, from what I saw, in high school with the mid range stuff.

And, as far as Petty, when I watched all of his Jemison film, I never got the impression he was "just" a 3 pt shooter. He was scoring from everywhere, including some immpressive dunks. I know it was high school, but I think he can be very capable inside the 3 pt line in college. I do think he needs to keep working on his ball handling though. He's a bit high and wild with it.
