For a gym rat, Gabe shoots pretty poorly.
Since his Freshman season he has been pretty average to bad in his shooting percentages. Yes, he had a couple of "Hot" games last year where he scored 27 or so on some unconscious shooting but those occasions were like oasis' in the desert of poor performances. 1-10 lines seem to be more common than 5-10 or even 4-10. I'm not even restricting myself to 3's!
So what is it? Mental? Must be, he must be pressing. How much easier can it get this year? Playing in an empty arena in what in essence is a scrimmage, shooting should be easy. Other than the gym is cold from lack of bodies. Or is he just not athletic enough to get off good shots against the defense? Hoffarber could! Is Gabe's shot too slow? He certainly doesn't have a Hoffarber like release. But rushing your shot leads to bad shooting, so maybe there is something there.
The rest of the guys cannot be that bad at defense to warrant continuing to watch him chuck bricks and not give them more run.
