Why am I posting about a guy from 30 years ago that barely played? Well when I was a kid we used to go to the games early so we could watch warmups. Naturally I would pay particular attention to whatever Berry, Jackson, Glass and Shelton Jones were doing. So one time my dad asks me" who is number 40?" I had to look it up in the program and saw it was Steve Shurina. I asked why? Well my dad said he noticed the kid had not missed one jumper during the entire warmup. That then became a thing with me and my dad. We would watch to see if Shurina would ever miss a shot in warmups. He rarely did, His career did not amount to much, Louie would put him in, he would play scared, miss a shot and get taken out.
Why am I bringing up Shurina? I went to my first game this year yesterday. I made my dad go and told him the seats were really good and beer was on me. Yes you have to bribe people to go ST John's games this year. Well as was our tradition we got there early and watched warmups. At one point my dad says wow, not one Shurina on the court today. I was watching the same thing. You know no one made more than a jumper or two in a row the whole warmup. You can go to a HS game and see better wide open shooting. Obviously not breaking news that this team is not good and can't shoot but it is now amazing to me that they actually won 8 games. Maybe Mullin should get some BE coach of the year votes.
Btw, I know everyone thinks that by making him the worlds smallest shooting guard all of Mussini's problems will go away. Besides his physical limitations, I do believe that his shooting was overated to begin with. I do not think he will have a big role next year.
