10-22 from 3 in the last 2 games and 40pts in 50 minutes... Kid can fill it up quick when he starts rolling. Blair Buckets... Yes. You"re right. Blair is a great example of Coach Ewing's eye and assessment of talent. Who knew of him before Coach was able to reel him in. Both he and Jamorko have accelerated their level of play recently. Yaboy, you seem to have the pulse of all things Hoyas, what additions or not do you anticipate for the '18 recruiting class?

Kid is a gamer. While he is one of our 5 best players, I like him coming off the bench to provide a spark or to lead the 2nd shift.

Someone laughed at me when earlier in the year that this kid could have a similar impact on this team as dsr did. So far they are on a similar trajectory.

Blair and Pickett are now each shooting 34.2% from 3 on the season, over a pretty solid sample size.

Looks like they are searching under any and every rock for a Combo Guard but tbh I don't think they have found someone they are ready to go all in on... If a talented big becomes available I'm sure they would jump at that also....

We could use both. That's an interesting thought..."no one they feel compelled to go all in on..." We're still searching.
What do you expect with X Pinson, if you care to venture...Don't feel compelled to answer.

Hopefully they can add a more immediate impact guy.

Loving Blair's development this season. He has all the qualities you want in a 3-point sniper. He has: 1) demonstrated ability to hit contested shots; 2) he has deep range; 3) when ball movement doesn't provide him open shot opportunities, he has demonstrated ability to spring himself free with a little juke and quicks; and 4) he is not bashful.
On a more limited basis, he also has demonstrated the ability to drive, draw fouls. With that skill, he could also develop into a slasher/kick-out artist too as people crowd him at the 3-point line. He is showing a lot of promise.
Keep working J Buckets!

Huge play by Blair to come up with that rebound.... Every single guy on the team had their guy on their back, it was a thing of beauty...

Blair has been in a funk the last 3 games. Frosh. Expected. Your right, he struggled offensively last night but that lack of consistency/decision making is going to happen with freshman. Says a lot that Coach Ewing left him out on the floor at the end of the game. Want to maintain the offensive aggressiveness but temper it with better decision making.

Butler targeted Dickerson to foul in the last minute and it worked. That also speaks of Pat's confidence in him.

Hopefully Blair can bounce back with some good shooting performances and he's not hitting a wall 25 games into the season.
Maybe the week off will benefit him and Pickett as the yung'ins.

He's got good mechanics but sometimes it looks like his feet can get out of wack. The release is always the same up top but sometimes below the waist it's not consistent. There was shot he took in the first half on the wing, where he was relatively open, but his left foot was way in front. He seems to have a couple of those a game.
It's weird, but you can almost tell when he's going to miss the moment he releases it. When he's right, he makes it. When he's wrong, he doesn't. What the defense is doing is almost irrelevant. He'll probably be able to fix it in the offseason.
When he's square it looks like it's going in every time. He looks like a pretty safe bet to shoot around 40% or better from 3 in the future, and he's always valuable at the end of games because he shoots ft's so well.

The 3 Blair hit after Govan was called for the moving pick against Seton Hall was a thing of beauty. Feet set. Straight up. Sweet release. Swish. Too bad Govan was whistled.

I was right more times than not in calling his makes, or at least when he would give you a thrill, the moment he released it.

Shooters have off nights. He’ll be back. He made some questionable decisions at the end of the game, as did Pickett, both will learn and will continue to improve.
