Max Hooper

How come Steve Lavin does not play this guy. He can space the floor with his shooting. You have to give this guy an opportunity; about two to three minutes, a few looks to either make or miss. He's the best shooter on the team. I don't get why Steve Lavin does not allow him to get in and play his game.

Max is a defensive liability and to be truthful not a great 3 point shooter.

this. you can see when he's in the game, the flow is totally different. same reason bourgault doesn't get in the game. hooper is a one trick pony and too slow and not athletic enough to hang with the rest of the gang. i like what he can in theory do, but can't blame coach lavin for not playing him a ton. this team has gelled, no need to mess with the chemistry now

Well if Max Hooper and Marc B. can't get time because they are slow, is there anyone on this team that can shoot?

harrison...been a weakness for years.

it's just too hard to expect guys to come off the bench and shoot treys/outside shots when cold. unfortunately, they don't have the athleticism to keep up with the flow of the how the johnnies want to play. catch 22

Looked like Max was in the zone against Robert Morris. We could have used his shooting against a few teams we should have beat.
