I think we're gonna have to give him some more time. He's still shooting from his chest.
Yeah I noticed this also. He needs to shoot the ball from over his head with his arms extended and at the height of his jump. Would like to see him put on more upper body muscle, but he's still got time.
Not sure if you know, but he had cancer.
That's great news. I'd love to see him on the floor for the Hawks.
I think he’s going to play the 3 spot primarily. I don’t think he’s going to be asked to post up back to the basket much. I also don’t think we are going to look for him to score a ton unless both Wieskamp and Garza go which seems unlikely. He should be good in transition and then hopefully knock down the open three at a decent clip. Effect the game in other ways with his length and athleticism.
He is not going to be playing the post. I see him and Joe T coming off the bench with the second unit. Pressing and defense those two are gonna be fun to watch. Both Joe with his athletic skills and speed and Patrick with his height and wingspan are gonna put some teeth into our full court press. This year we used it for slowing down teams, next year Iowa will be scoring points off T/O's. If JBo and Conner start, Joe T probable comes off the bench. With the incoming talent we should be able to make a formidable second unit. Patrick should be able to go all out and rest when he's tired. If seniors get an extra year I'm sure those won't count against the number of scholarships. Iowa could be extremely loaded next year if Garza comes back. Our second team could be Kreiner, Patrick, Joe T, top two freshman. I think Wiese bounces back next year with JBo back, teams won't be able to hound him like this year.
Here is a video of the exhibition game. Joe T and Pat seem to have some pretty good chemistry in transition.
I thought Wieskamp was 6’7”.
