Who’s our Go-To-Guy?

[Dougie_D]

I think the reason why we have a hard time with close games is because we don’t have that 1 guy we rely on to take that last shot.
If you were Barnes who would it have been?
Vescovi? Bailey? Springer? .. too many options

 

[KnoxKid]

I would have gone with Santi or Springer

I would have gone with Santi or Springer

That’s the point I’m making., why choose even between 2?

 

[rdk4121]

If we need a three late in the genre, I'm going with Santi personally. Mostly because he shoots 96% from the free throw line in the clutch.

 

[Namorto1]

We don’t have one unfortunately. Should be Springer in my opinion, but has never materialized this year.

 

[vavolfan6]

Honestly, I wanted to go with Pons today. I normally would go with Vescovi, but Pons just hit a 3 and he is a senior. I trust experience in game critical situations when their career is on the fringe if being over.

 

[Vol49er]

On the last possession I would've preferred Keon driving to the hoop. Either get a quick two and foul or if they collapse kick it out to Santi, Bailey, or JJJ

Keon Johnson

 

[GetEmVols]

Keon Johnson

Keon is our go to guy 100%

 

[1Volnation]

Dude in handicap section?

 

[wmcovol]

That is the time coaches earn their money.

 

[iKrager]

Victor Bailey wishes he could be it. He dropped off significantly. I was expecting more from him after sitting out all of last year!

 

[cwbytruckers]

Springer needs another year. His ball handling his horrible at times.

 

[wmcovol]

All of our guards need to greatly improve their ball handling.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

The play was for Vescovi but he felt defender was too close and deferred to Bailey.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

At the end when there were 16 seconds left and TN down by 3, I would have gone against the percentages. Bailey, Springer, and Vescovi were the obvious guys to take a 3. I’d use those guys, and Pons, as decoys and live or die with Keon taking a 3. I didn’t like the idea of a quick 2 and then a foul as I think Bama would have made their FTs and been back up 3 with less time available.

No complaints though. The good guys gave it a good go at another SECT Final. Not our year.

I say anyone one the floor in Tn orange.

 

[vols1071]

Keon..... He can create his own shot better than anyone on the team

 

[TNnative]

If one is chosen, he more than likely draws a double team in those situations. Having two would seem to increase you chances of that last second, game winning shot ending up going through the net.

 

[VOLED]

KJ has proven to be clutch. He isn't the best of the 3 point shooters, but he is a winner. Also, he is the toughest to guard 1 on 1.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Vescovi has that little pump fake, side step 3 thats money.

Springer has that little dribble step back 3.

Both shots are pretty reliable.

 

[wmcovol]

I’d prefer to see shooters come off multiple screens instead of lining up around the 3 pt circle.
