I think he still would've had a very good game, but probably not AS good as he did. When a guy gets that hot, no defense can stop them.

RE: Champlin: Nate Darling's career night paces UAB in rout of Southern Miss
Nate is obviously a very good shooter, but his form looks a big odd to me. He shoots from his chest instead of over the shoulder, and he doesn't get great lift on his jump when he shoots. He also brings the ball pretty low before he sweeps it back up to his release point. That being said, if he keeps knocking them down, I could care less about the mechanics of his shot. It's just something I noticed on the highlights. Like MB alluded to, it may be harder for him to get his shot off, especially given his mechanics, against teams that actually play decent defense.
Bear in mind, Reggie Miller's form was one of the oddest of all time..

Hak's primary assignment was to be Filer who went for 24...

If i was Rob he sits three games , but he only got one.
I think Nate filled in for Javien who filled in for Hak.
Its amazing all three have had their career games this year lol.
Darling probably shouldve playing more starting a month and Hak can sit and play 6-9 mins.
^^^^^^^^^^^
???????
Couldn't agree more

i noted that in his HS highlights...i received the standard "i dont care what it looks like, as long as it goes in"--yeah, that goes without saying. my concern, however, was the low release, which makes it hard to get off against college defenders. it wont go in if you cant get it off

How great defensively was Swish, Darth, JaMarr, or Swing? But they shot it well i guess Broom maybe but i had just started tuning in to UAB basketball then.

I guess I missed the part where someone said he was a poor shooter

So a player has a career night and we proceed to send him back to the bench. Brilliant.

I never understood this one. Eshan's quote has me baffled it goes something like he does this in practice yada yada ,and the only thought i had about it was where is his game day minutes.

He made one attempt against UTEP and passed up some open looks. Maybe it's a confidence thing? Nates playing time is not why we lost to UTEP. Smdh.
Why we blew it?

We blew it because UTEP made good defensive adjustments, starting hitting shots and we didn't respond.
Our experienced senior guards had a hard time with the tight defense...so I can only imagine how a freshman would have responded.
