31.0 minutes/game

13.0 ppg - 2nd on team

5.2 rpg - 2nd on team.

3.8 assists/game

2.2 steals/game (very impressive)

Shot 38.8% overall

26.3% from the arc. Took the most shots on the team. That won't happen for us.

60% from the line. Took the 2nd most attempts on the team.

He definitely is not a 3-point shooter. In his freshman season he only made 25.0% of his shots. But he does shoot a lot of FTs, which makes me think he may be a pretty good penetrator. And he hit 70% of his FTs in his freshman year.

Let him play defense, get steals and rebounds, and pass the ball to someone else to shoot. That should definitely be his role. We don't need 27% three point shooters taking many shots. And I sure don't like the 60% free throw percentage for a guard. He'll need to work on that.

He'll shoot better here because Steve stresses taking good shots. I really don't think we had the best shooters in the NCAA. But we were #1 in the 3 point shooting at one time because we took good shots. Fondren will play more under control here and will be a very good player for us.
