But I know you have to respect a shooter and Haynes will take the shot. That has always been a part of the problem. ODU needs players that make defenders respect the shot and my frustration is when a player is afraid to give themselves a chance for success.

Im not sure if I was playing defense that I would guard Haynes out to the 3 point line if I was defending him. What is his percentage, 25%?

Stop living off numbers and open your eyes. Randy can and will shoot well.

Also, Talley would have impacted Xavier's minutes. With that being the case, I wish Talley the best but I am happy he found a new home.

I wish Zoran well. Despite the off-the-court stuff, I really like the kid and want him to succeed. I do think it is a fair criticism, if you want to talk about the fact that he only took 26 three pointers in his career here (and only made 4). A really successful wing has to be some sort of threat from deep.

As for Randy, however, I WANT Randy to be a good shooter. We need him to make shots. But, so far in his career, he is 14/54 from deep. The numbers tell me that, and my eyes tell me he's missing 3 out of every 4 three point shots he's taking. We need him to make shots at a higher clip. It's as simple as that.
