Antoine Aguadio had it as does James Harden. JWF has one of the best at college level. Brian Bernardi never developed it so he was not as effective later in his senior year. Some players are just catch and shoot. A defender can take away that space on the floor from them .
That's the point to be made and it was so true Brian had trouble creating space so he changed his overall game and made more moves to the basket. He became a more of a mid range shooter then just a three point player in his senior year. Ray needs the open look but it's being denied by the defense more often then not. He drives in the paint and puts up the 10 footer. Coburn has the quickness to go to the hoop when he's being guarded tight on the three but he all too often has been called for traveling when he makes his first move. As far as I'm concerned Coburn's game is a work in progress and in reality he's a freshman getting his first substantial minutes in college. He's a real good player in the making and has a lot of upside. So yes step back jumper or the moves to create the shot that Justin has perfected.

Bernardi's percent of field goal attempts that were threes dropped from 77.6 percent as a sophomore to 65.9 percent as a junior and had a tiny drop to 65.2 percent as a senior.
