I agree with that too, he seemed to have alot of fadeaway or off balance shots. Needs to pick his shots better

Yes, I agree that his overall FG% was poor, I think he shot lower in 2 pt range than from 3. Maybe I am wrong, but I would describe him as a good shooter based on his 3 pt numbers but not a great playmaker based his poor numbers inside the arc. Shooting seems to be a strength in my judgment but shot selection and trying to create for himself inside the arc are weaknesses.

I agree that conference play is most important, but his season shooting average, including NIT play, is significantly lower.

He actually went 5-10 from 3 in the 2 NIT games, 3-5 against Davidson and 2-5 against Wichita State. The last 4 conference games of the regular season he was 13-27 from 3. He really struggled in the Big 12 tournament (1-9 in 2 games) but I am encouraged by the fact that his 3 point shooting numbers improved throughout the year against stiffer competition and that he finished pretty strong. He went just 9-32 from 3 in non-conference at the beginning of the year.
Would be interesting to see what he could do off the ball as a spot up shooter. We would lose some height defensively playing him at the 2 but if we bring in a long PG, Clary could guard the 1 and the PG could guard the 2.
Hopefully we recruit over him and he is a backup.
Also keep in mind Clary was dealing with a shoulder injury all non-conference. He didn’t even play in the pre-season due to the injury. Go back and watch tape and you’ll see he’s wearing a bandage on the shoulder. Later in the year it’s only KT tape. Then the end of the year he was finally healthy.

He thinks he's a shooter in that he is taking these really difficult shots early in the shot clock and he's not good at it, but he didn't stop doing it.
Aside from shooting, he also dribbled away 15-20 seconds off of way too many possessions without anything productive happening. I agree that he might be better off the ball if he can spot up.

His job as a point guard is to run an offense that works together to get high percentage shots. I didn't always see that, and judging from Coach's reactions to his play, I wasn't the only one.
