[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 678048, member: 2299"] It's amazing how many no content posts that do nothing but crap on the program or troll are allowed to stay. It's not even a matter of being negative, it's just adding nothing to the discussion. Anyways, it's way too early to be making anything near a final judgement on Sjolund. For those pointing out his shooting stats, go look at Adam Smith's freshman year shooting stats, and he's the guy multiple posters have lamented us not having the past couple of years. His numbers were almost identical in terms of % as a freshman. Look at Vasiljevic at Miami. As a freshman his numbers were nearly identical overall with the difference being he play more minutes. He's second in the ACC in 3% this year and was a solid contributor last year for miami. Look at Ryan McMahon at UL, Diakite at UVA, Childress at Wake, Mooney At ND, Boeheim at Cuse, etc etc. No, there isn't a guarantee he will develop, but to write him off because of his freshman stats is flat out ridiculous. Also, looking at any per game metric from his freshman year is misleading because of the high number of sub 5 minute appearances where he had little to no chance to show pretty much anything. In the 5 game stretch where he got significant minutes (all games where he got 10+ minutes except 1) he averaged 24 mpg, 8 ppg, shot 33% from the three on over 5 attempts per game. No, those aren't "move the needle" freshman numbers, but the certainly show enough to believe he'll be a contributor down the line especially as a shooter because the area he needed to improve the most was defense, which will be helped with physical development.
