You also have to look at how teams guard someone. He’s shooting open,  stand still 3s. Physically incapable of shooting off the dribble. If teams viewed him as a shooter they’d simply run him off the line. There’s a reason the ball seemed to find him late in the shot clock wide open. Matt Norman shooting 41% and Brady D shooting 36% are miles apart in terms of shooting ability 

Generally speaking.... there are not many guys that are high level shooters off the dribble. Since you guys like synergy so much, you would know that most of the time, guards best play type based on Points Per Possession is Catch and shoot 3's.

There aren't many guys in the Summit League, outside of maybe Mayo and McBride that you want shooting 3's off the dribble.

 

So yes, I don't want Brady shooting 3's off the dribble because then he probably shoots 25% from 3 instead of 35%. I don't really want anyone of our guys shooting 3's off the dribble because it is a lower percentage shot.

No one is talking about Brady D shooting 18 dribble iso 3s. We’re talking simple ability to shoot a one dribble side step 3 after a close out, one dribble coming off a screen when the defense goes under. Brady D shot 8 jump shots last year off the dribble. He made 1 more than me and you. Physically incapable of doing it. Again, watch how teams guard him. Maybe you’re smarter than all the other coaches in the Summit League!

I love Brady D's energy, heart and drive. When he's on the floor, he is dynamite and makes things happen. So fun to watch.

u do know that sather (and pretty much brady) have a 35% winning percentage at Nodak?  what the hell has been fun to watch?

sather is lucky to be back and he's done a good job of adding some "potential" studs to this team but brady's time is done.....

You are arguing with yourself. I don’t think anyone wants Brady shooting a basketball after a dribble… i agree with you. 
 

there just aren’t many guys that can shoot a high percentage coming off screens, side step, step back 3’s… that’s just a fact.

 

carry on

My bad, I assumed you saying he shot 36% from 3 meant you thought he could shoot the ball. I should not assume things on the internet.

I'm not sure how anyone like @jdub27 or @SD UND can read this post and decide to talk about Brady D and his ability/non-ability to shoot the ball lol Out of all the possibilities! 

If we're being honest, if UND wants to compete in the Summit, the less minutes for Brady D the better for the team. 

In other news, was nice to see Bentiu Panoam at the fan fest and on staff now. He'll be a nice addition and one that the players like/enjoy being around. Glad he's back with the team!

He should be in the Dustin Hobaugh role

Stats are stats. His 3 point shooting has improved significantly the last two years. That's all facts that aren't going to change.
No one implied that any of that means he should be leading the team in minutes or 3 pointers shot.

Has he improved or the way teams guarded him changed? Stats suggest later statement, eye test backs it up

You still aren't understanding what I am saying, Jdub. Brady D should be the least of our concern. The whole roster is filled with guys that are 20's to low 30's% three point shooters. Probably won't have a single guy that shoots 40% or higher. That is a very legitimate concern/issue.

Instead, you and buddy @SD UND bring up how Brady D has increased his shooting percentage the past two years?? Who cares! The only reason that happened is because teams don't guard him and 60% of his shots are wide open shot attempts. That is a fact that isn't going to change. 

Correct, we all understand that shooting is probably going to cost UND a couple games this year because there will be nights where they go 5-25 from 3. Where I think they will be better is scoring in transition and in the paint. Noone is arguing with you that shooting is a concern, because it is. 

Brady will play 20+ minutes a night, not because of his shooting or lack of shooting. He has a great feel on the court, he makes a ton of hustle plays, he makes the right play most of the time, and is no question the leader of this team. 

So yes, UND isn't going to play like they did last year where they hucked up 35+ 3's a night... they're going to have to run more and attack the basket in the full court and the half court and the 30% 3 point shooters are going to have to kick a few wide open 3's in a game.

 

My guess is you see these 8 a lot assuming Tyree is ineligible

Eli

Brady

Treysen

BJ

Elijah

Deng

T

Amar

It will be important for Trey to continue to shoot at a high percentage and the floor should open up if T can continue to pull 5's out.

Should be a fun season to watch! I expect us to be very strong defensively! Also, the dunk at the end of this video is ridiculous:

I think transition will be huge for this team. The last thing we want is a slow, walk the ball up, half court type of game. This teams needs to get out and run and put pressure on the defense. We have the guys to turn it into a track meet so might as well.

So according to this article, the conference championship will televised by CBS Sports Network.  It used to be on one of the ESPN networks (as were just about every conference that isn't Power 5).  I get CBS Sports but I pay extra for it, so it's not a matter of not being able to watch it, but I do feel like that's a step down in visibility during the hype leading up to selection Sunday.

I’d think that Mambourou Mara should see significant minutes. 
Brady should be a 10-12 minute guy.  Bring energy and hustle when the team needs it.

He has averaged 20.1 mpg in his career. 26.3 mpg last year... that will not change this season, IMO.

Where do you see Mara fitting?  You didn’t list him in your 8 players who will get significant minutes.

No clue on him... My guess is it will take a little bit of time until he is ready to contribute but I honestly do not know on him.

And how has that worked out so far for team success the last 3 years? You can't win at this level with a guy like that playing that many minutes. And that's not on Brady D. That's on the coaches. 

He is a 4-5 minutes per half guy, at most. Bring some energy. Try draw a charge. Make a big steal. Offensive rebound and putback. And that is it. But, he is Sather's guy so he's going to continue to play more than he should like always. 

Truthfully, he should have been asked to be a GA this year. And then used his scholarship to get somebody that can shoot the ball. 

As the old saying goes “Talent beats hard work when hard work isn’t talented”. 10th and 9th place finishes ain’t cutting it. Plenty of talent on roster now. Focus on developing that talent!

Haven't heard it quite like that before ... 

[sioux24/7]

I’m thinking the Brady Danielson debate should be put to a rest. It’s just going to be the same argument all season long. Hopefully winning in there will cause it to settle down .

Rumor has it, we played in a secret game today against another school. Any body know the result of that?
