I think Mara is 0 - 0 on three point shots in nearly 300 minutes of college ball…not what I would consider a three point threat. Yes, I do believe he is a very good passer but I cannot see having a 7’+ guy hanging outside and hunting an assist or three point shot. I would rather have him in or near the paint for rebounds, put backs and close in shots. Maybe move his out if he and TBil are playing together. Also, I just feel that having a 7’3” awkward looking big set screens 25 feet from the hoop … heck it did not work with Bona, a very quick and athletic guy, had so many fouls and problems with it, I question it’s worth.
On D…I still have problems having a giant run around outside, get switched off onto a guard and get burnt over and over … I would rather have him planted in the paint, block shots and board. (I think you agree…at least at this stage of Mara’s development).
Again, I could be wrong but for what it is worth…that is my opinion at this stage of the season.
