Stringer takes only 6 shots and thats selfish?

Andre Stringer took only 6 shots for 11 pts and we call that selfish? I always thought selfish play was hogging all the shots, i was at the game stringer passed up plenty of shots i thought he should have taken but instead he passed the ball into the post where green, warren, and white took turns missing point blank layups and flat out not even catching the ball.
we have never seen a kid able to shoot from 35 feet like its a free throw, and i think we all cringe when we see it because everything we have been told about basketball says thats a bad shot so we equate it with selfishness or fooolish shot selection when if u see the shot he's not stuggling to get it there he's not pushing it, its fundamentally perfect, its just a unique talent that he has to be able to shoot from that distance and before this recent slump he was shooting 40 to 37% from 3 which any basketball person will tell you is better than average.
him being able to shoot from that distance should stretch the floor and create inside opportunities but because we have no one on the inside that deserves to be guarded, the defense is able to push up on stringer's shot because they have no fear of anyone else which makes its hard for our perimeter players.
Now by no means is stringer flawless but shot selection or selfishness is not one of them, he is a liability on defense(most freshman are)and at this point his left hand and overall ball handling could really stand to approve.

FRESHMAN FRESHMAN FRESHMAN, but if it wasnt for andre stringer the game wouldnt have been that close 19pts Matt 16pts our freshman are doing as much as can be expected, yes they make mistakes at key moments but they are the reason we even have key moments, WE GET ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FROM STORM AND WHITE, nothing from DOTSON, No inside presence at all which means it makes the defenses able to key on our perimeter players
Blame it On Stringer

it seems on the basketball post everybody gets a pass except stringer, 15ppg and 3ast as a freshman is probably alot of more productive the most freshman guards in this country, now defensive he has been a liablity and makes some of the dumbest fouls ive seen, but he is definitely not the only freshman that hurts us defensively(derenbecker) but everything about Matt is positive "o he'll be good later" "he has to get use to the speed". Stringer went 3/4 lastnight with 1 turnover in 20 minutes, and we lost by 20, seems to me the offense should be geared more to getting him shots, he's been the leading scorer on the team and the offense is geared to get the ball to two players that have been mediocre at best (storm,white) what kind of sense does that make?
Stringer and Turner are the best players on the team, so why isnt our offense going thru them, lastnight night all stringer did was pass and run opposite like Chris bass has be doing for years but stringer is no cris bass and if the coaches use him like bass u are wasting his talent, The reason Turner went 4/16 is because stringer was not aggressive and getting turner his catch and shot opportunities which meant he had to try to create his own shot and we saw the results.
And from my understanding stringer wasnt even the main recruit we wasnt expecting stringer to be our leading scorer and what not, Derenbecker was suppose to be the player to watch, and was going to be so versatile and ive been watching and i dont see it, The real problem is our upperclassman that are not doing anything period

Ralston is definitely on the list, but stringer has been consistent been in double figures each game except one, and playing the PG position as a freshman is difficult, Ralston has a little easier job all he is asked to do is catch and shoot, stringer is asked to score, and run the offense with limited inside production, stringer has be rocky at times but overall he's a player
did saturday man so im good until maybe tuesday lol

the lack of any other threats is making our two freshman stringer and turner have to take bad shots, there is no one else to guard on the floor but them two and dotson maybe. Sucks we have to depend on Freshman for so much but we want to yank stringer and turner? if it wasnt for them being so productive we wouldnt even be competitive

Lets see we have a freshman pg thats averaging nearly 16pts a game a freshman shooting guard averaging double figures, if you ask me we are getting more than enough from our freshman And to me they are playing like top tier talent,but you are only as good as the people around you, they are able to key on stringer and turner because nobody else is a threat besides Dotson who has played very well IMO. The Point guard is the toughest position to play and for a freshman even tougher and then u ask him to be your main offensive threat
and if we are going to question there shot selection, what is the alternative, do we pass it to storm and malcolm down low and watch them trip on there own feet trying to make a post move. where are our experience players there the problem in my opinion the freshman are doing much more than can be expecting u talking about a 5'9 guy thats been in double digits every game except 1, a shooting guard thats putting up very good numbers, they are not the disappointments our upperclassmens are IMO

they are all eating there words up to this point in the season, i was looking at the schedule i dont think Its crazy to think we could be 13-2 going into conference play, if stringer and turner can continue to produce the way they are and Malcolm and Warren continue to be more aggressive
