And have talked with De'Ron's mom, if only briefly about just basketball stuff. I thought it was a well done article, and wanted to share it with you all. I am pleased all of you liked it. Now... the job is to keep De'Ron healthy. The knee knocker in the last exhibition game, caused my heart to skip a beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Another Zack piece on Davis- https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2017/11/14/deron-davis-old-coach-and-new-coach-see-his-new-drive-dominate/861521001/ I also read somewhere that after 2 games, Davis leads the NCAA in FG% at over 80% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes.... I read De'Ron leads D-1 basketball with a 83% FG%. How I consider that to be significant is the number of attempts he has taken so far. And a little bit of a knock on Crean in the respect that Crean wanted De'Ron to work on his outside shooting..... while Miller, is posting De'Ron up.

Kind of hoping that Seton Hall attempts to double De'Ron in the post. Reason being, unlike Vonleh, De'Ron has no aversion to giving the ball up for an open man. And De'Ron has a unique ability in not only finding the open man, but his passing skills this year seem to be the best I have ever seen him in four plus years of watching him. Here a video of De'Ron talking about Crean wanting him to work on his corner three an drop three during his last year at Overland. It starts about 1:30 of the video.

The good news about Delgado is that he wasn't much of a shot-blocker last year. The bad news is he's never been foul-prone, so Davis may be unlikely to get him into foul trouble.

It's not like other years, and in specific when we had Vonleh who never looked for the outside shooters, we had who could hit the try. Still. Open men can set up inside the three point line, instead of outside. And recalling how when we had Cody who starved inside, because our outside shooters hardly looked to feed him. That does not seem to be the case this year with De'Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
