Looking forward to Ruttley

First off, Jermaine Ruttley is a senior, so he has been to the wars. Second, he is accustomed to being a Go-to guy. He averaged 17.4 ppg last year, but that probably was because he was the best player on a horrible team. He is not a bad shooter overall for a guard (45.1%), but was a terrible shooter last year from the arc (29.5%). I suspect a good bit of that was because no shooting discipline at all was imposed upon him, since even that poor number was second-best on the team. He probably had a green light and just kept blasting away regardless of the outcome. I doubt that will be the case with Coach Beard. He may have a green light, but he will be expected to make shots, since we do have several other very good options.
