In high school he was a very good free-throw and three-point shooter, as he gets more comfortable I think both of those things will start to get a lot smother.
The free throw thing has to be mental but it is tough to watch. I am actually a little surprised Wisconsin didn't foul him intentionally a little more because he is such a mess at the line right now.
Or in the buffet line.....?????I understand Turner is now injured. He doesn’t play in games does he? Did he get hurt in practice or in class?
He is a lot like Fox. Not as athletic, but a better feel for the game, at a much younger age!
I'd argue he's already more talented than Fox....he can shoot the ball some
Both are adept at shooting scud missiles toward the backboard.
I saw Grove in high school, he had good touch, he could hit shots from15, he also hit on a number of threes! His shooting probably won’t improve a ton this season, but in the years to come, I hope he regains that confidence he once had.
Oh
Grove can dunk it and hang on the rim, and he can make layups under the basket. Those count as scoring.
God, you're tiring with this shit.
It's as if he's the only Gopher fan capable of identifying Grove's weaknesses and the only Gopher fan incapable of identifying his progressions.
I would take Fox over Grove IMO.
I really liked that pass he made to Durkin on a cut yesterday too.
I will TAKE a big that actually dunks the ball instead of getting layups swatted. I feel like Grove is already our best C since Oturu. The kid, at worst, hustles is butt off. The put-backs have been energizing for the team too, important when they all have tired legs
Yep, Grove is extremely active when he is in there and is developing into a nice role player who gives the team quality minutes when he is out there. May never be a starter or star but can be a quality part of the rotation off the bench and as he keeps developing could work his way into a starting role eventually.
Fox is one of my all time favorites after last year. That being said he also was pushing on 30 by the time he graduated! I would of course take Fox (if healthy) right now, but Grove is absolutely working his tail off and going from a cast off to a legitimate piece of our team this season. I’m torn between him hopefully being out recruited or finding a way to become that player that other teams love to hate. Especially after he starts to feel like he’s been here for about a decade.
Ok, I'll still take Fox when he played in South Dakota.
But would you say the same thing in 6 years?
For some folks, the only defensive statistics that count are blocks and steals, because they are easy to see and track. The "real" defensive things that make a difference and really count are intangible things that most folks don't see because they are rather subtle and not spectacular or obvious. Even taking a charge is pretty obvious, but what happened in the 1-2 seconds just prior to taking the charge is something that most people don't see because they're busy watching the ball and not watching everything that is happening away from the ball. The good defensive move probably happened a half-second before the charge happened and the average fan missed it. Believe me, coaches don't miss that stuff.
