I expect opponents to work Prather out pretty quickly. A couple of times he pulled an early-season-Ennis - just attacking the rim in spite of defence being in pretty good position - and came off second best. So I hope he's got some better control once we start playing games that matter. (I've got no problems with players pushing their luck in practice games)
His energy will be good for the Cats though.
My concerns about the Cats backcourt remain as serious as ever.
Prather's jump shot was his weakness. It was in his scouting report.
That said I don't think it will be that big a factor. He's not here to be an outside threat. He's attacking the rim and pushing the tempo.
If he is able to improve his shot then that is a bonus.
Was Daniels shot any good last season? Mechanically looked better but his flaw was the dribble penetration and transition. The cats now have that with Prather.
