I agree with that. When we run we suddenly have depth again .

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.

I think Cambridge is at his best helping this team out by rebounding and slashing to the basket. And he definitely has an ugly looking shot. But he was 100% a "streaky" shooter as a Sophomore last year. He had 6 games last year where he made 3+ 3 pointers in a game with a 3FG % of 33.3% or better. That is nearly 25% of our games last year where he was very serviceable as a shooter. His percentage was so poor last year, because he also had a few games where he went 1-9, 2-8, and 1-10 from 3. He has 0 games this year where he has 3+ 3 pointers.

On a separate note, I do think it is time that we start looking to get C Mo more minutes. His shot isn't nearly as ugly as Devan's or Flans and he hustles and could be a contributor on the boards. Is he that bad defensively, or is Bruce just trying to give Flanigan every last chance possible to turn this around?

Edit: And just looking further into Cambridge's stats for the season. Starting with the Uconn game he went 7 straight games making at least 1 three and shooting 33% or better. In those games he shot 50%, 50%, 40%, 33%, 33%, 67%, and 100% from 3. Since that streak ended (starting with the Saint Louis game on the road) he has only made 6 three pointers in 19 games. This is truly just the worst stretch of shooting for him in his career.
