But, as his career progressed, he tended to move his game further and further from the block. In his senior season, he took a ton of ill-advised 3s, in my opinion. And, a lot of deep jump shots from 2. As he moved further and further from the basket, I thought he became less and less effective.

Gabe’s fg% by year:
FR: 52%
SO: 50%
JR: 51%
SR: 51%

This also reflected a steady increase in shots from 6.6 a game as a frosh to 9.9 a game as a senior. And obviosly the added defensive attention going from the 4th options as a freshman to the #1 option the second half of his senior year. So Gabe was able to shoot virtually the same % every year, while getting up more shots, with more defensive attention. Not sure how that equates to becoming less effective. His effective field goal % of .532 (fg% adjusted for the fact that a 3-point field goal is worth one more point than a 2-point field goal) as a senior placed him second in the PL. Also, once CJ was injured, he no longer got the 1 on 1’s he had previously, on the block or otherwise. You guys are tough critics!
