Nunn has always been an inconsistent player, but the issue this year is that he's been a consistent no-show in games against high major competition. Yeah, he's averaging nearly 11ppg, but that's been largely on the back of big performances against scrubs.bear2be2 said:Nunn is a good, not great, two guard who happens to be the only healthy player on this roster who is a consistent threat to hit a 3-pointer at the moment.BUCANDOIT82 said:
Can you asses Nunn?
He's also an active, albeit inconsistent defender.
He's a better player than he's given credit for being by some here but not dynamic enough to be a No. 1 or 2 scoring option on a good team.
But we knew all of this before the season. Nunn is doing exactly what anyone who watched him last year would expect him to do.
It's Roach who needs to up his game. He was brought in to be an impact player, and he has only occasionally been so this year. For this team to reach its potential, it needs Roach and Omier to be consistent sources of leadership and, especially, production. Omier brings it every night. We need Roach to do the same.
Last year, he was inconsistent, but he had chunk games against big-time opponents (27 vs OU, 20 vs WVU, 18 vs KU, 16 vs ISU, etc.) mixed in with his more muted outputs.
This year, he's averaging 8ppg against P5 comp, with his only real standout game coming against Arkansas, where he scored 16 points on 6-13 shooting (4-7 from deep). The only other games where he's scored double digits was 12 vs St. John's and 10 on Saturday against ASU. Granted, both were sub-40% shooting nights.
We could use a big night from him tonight. That's for sure.
