Cambridge is the definition of streaky shooter. We've all seen him go unconscious. However, this year in limited minutes he's is struggling to find the streaks. The other things he does IMO warrant dealing with the occasional bad 3, but honestly he is usually open and just doesn't hit them so they aren't bad 3's so much as he isn't hitting a shot he is capable of hitting.

I'd rather have Cambridge missing an open 3 in a spectacularly ugly fashion than the terrible 3's are guards sometimes fall into shooting.

Side note:

In the excitement of winning a regular season title I haven't seen much discussion on the fact that we for the 3rd time in a last shot situation didn't get a shot off or a absolutely terrible shot. I'm not sure I've ever seen a good team with a couple of great "get your own shot" guys struggle so badly to produce a good look.

He’s a career 29% shooter from 3 as a catch and shoot guy. To say he’s a “capable” shooter is a stretch

I think we can retire this myth. He had a couple of good shooting games his freshman year which gave him the "streaky" label ever since. Truth is he's a bad shooter with an UGLY shot. He also just so happens to be probably the most athletic guy on the team.

IMO we have to start running more. Our half court O has struggled all year.. when we run we can take advantage of our depth and athleticism.
