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.

So, how can Haynes shoot? If you don't make shots, how can you be considered a good shooter? There is hope that he can become a good shooter, but has shown to not be at this point.

By some peoples logic, if Talley would have just shot more, he'd be a better player. No matter if he makes.

What is your sample size?

Was it last year when Jones would take him off the floor if he took a bad shot? How do you expect someone to shoot well when you do that?

Is your argument based off of two games this year?

Whatever it is...it is not enough to say Randy can't shoot.

Edit: In the scrimmage Randy went 5-9 from 3. Granted, it was against a D3 team, but your argument is that you can just leave him wide open.
