Stevenson was posting up and playing tough in the paint, something he didn't do much last year. Remember that this should be his freshman year.
Obviously a stupidly small sample size. But seeing his improved physicality and willingness to drive to the rim, it's looking like the I'm reclass was a good move for him, even though he had major struggles as a freshman.

Let’s let a guy a few games removed from a 24-12 in the Sweet 16 and a 15-10 in the Final Four breathe just a smidge

What date will we get the first "really think we should reconsider shooting so many threes" post?
I'm going with the Illinois game when we start 2/11 from 3PT in the 1st half.

I'm thinking Friday actually. They play fast just like we do so all it'll take is us missing 4-5 shots in a row for them to go on a couple of mini-runs, which will inevitably bring out the people who wish basketball was still played like it was in 2006.

Who amongst us does not long for the days of using the entire shot clock to ensure we get Chris Hines a post touch?

I may lose my mind the first time I see the phrase "Live and die by the 3" in a gamethread.

Jarin Stevenson looks light years better this year. Bigger, more in control and playing with confidence.
He’ll be in the NBA draft this season. No doubt about it.
If his goal is first round, he needs to improve his shooting consistency.

Clowney wasn't a consistent 3 point shooters. He shot 28.3% from 3, and still got drafted in the first round. Jarin is now the same age as Clowney. NBA scouts are more interested in potential with young players vs consistency.
Now, he does need to improve his consistency. But nowadays, they're glad to draft high potential youth, and develop them themselves.

No basis for this but I bet the average late 1st early 2nd round guy doesn’t end up being a longtime starter. If Jarin goes there and is a quality rebounding, shooting, and defending role player, his team will be reasonably happy
Between Oats, the tea leaves from the combine, and the scouting reports, Jarin’s impact might not always show up in the box score
They aren’t similar players, but who remembers getting reports of a young Herb turning scouts’ heads at practice? I didn’t see it at all until he was a senior

Clowney has much better defense and athletic ability than Jarin. That's why Clowney was drafted at 18, younger than Jarin. (Clowney didn't reclassify, but he became a freshman at the same age as Jarin.) Ultimately, Jarin needs to develop a better 3PT shot and FT than Clowney because he doesn't have as good defense and athletic ability as Clowney.
That's why he needs to improve his consistency to be a first-round pick.

Jarin’s probably more explosive than Clowney. Not quite as long. Offers more in the ball-handling department.

Jarin is more athletic.
And not sure what either has to do with shooting…

Im not sure. Its hard to tell just with the eye test.
They are similar players with opposite strengths and weaknesses.
I think Clowney was tougher, but he was a really tough guy; strong rebounder and rim protector.
Jarin has more offensive game at this point. He is trying to do a lot more on the offensive side of the ball. Clowney was looking for a PNR dunk or a corner three.
I think we will see some improvement all around fron Stevenson this year. He looks to be in good shape. But so far his 3 stroke is not looking great.
