Jeremiah Fears, G, Oklahoma

Height: 6-4 • Weight: 182 • Class: Freshman • Age: 18

Summary: Fears is a dynamic guard with a twitchy attacking style and a knack for coming through as a clutch shooter. He was one of college basketball’s youngest freshmen, and it showed with his shaky decision-making as a shooter and passer. But he has a feel for shot creation and a handle that lets him get anywhere on the floor, so he may only need time to emerge as a star.

Comparisons: Jamal Murray, Jordan Poole

Strengths

Drive game: Fears is a herky-jerky ball-handler who’s difficult to read. He’ll go fast then slow, he’ll decelerate into floaters, and he’ll toss up layups using either hand if he gets all the way to the rim. This makes him especially potent in the open floor, and he could benefit from NBA spacing to aid his scoring efficiency at the next level when operating in the pick-and-roll and isolations.

Jumper upside: Fears is a fluid ball-handler who’s comfortable getting into his shot. The results just aren’t there yet from 3. He made only 18.6% of his dribble jumper 3s, per Synergy. But there are some positive indicators: He shot 36.1% on catch-and-shoot 3s, 44.1% on midrange jumpers, 50% on floaters, and 84.5% on free throws. If improving his 3-pointer is only a matter of expanding his range then he might just need time to become a major threat.

Pick-and-roll playmaking: If he improves his jumper, and if he cuts down on turnovers, he could become a filthy creator using ball screens. He’s so physical on drives, yet also so shifty with a creativity to him that just needs some experience and seasoning.

Clutch: At the end of Oklahoma’s loss in the SEC tournament, Fears made a pair of free throws, hit a 3, got a steal then assisted a teammate, and then got another steal and scored a tough bucket to take a lead. After clutch moments and a game-winner against Michigan earlier in the season, this stretch again detailed how Fears can come through in the highest pressure moments.

Concerns

Shot selection: Attempts way too many crazy layups and floaters, which killed his percentages in college. He is a below-the-rim athlete, so he needs to develop a better feel for when to put up shots or look to distribute, while also improving his footwork.

Perimeter shooting: His jumper is a work in progress. He made only 27.5% of 3s in college, and he wasn’t any better at the high school level. Until he proves he can stretch the floor reliably, NBA defenses will sag off and clog his driving lanes.

Decision-making: Turnovers nearly match his assists. He can get tunnel vision forcing shots or sloppily whipping passes that miss the mark.

Strength: He needs to get significantly stronger. It currently hurts him when it comes to dislodging defenders on his drives. And on defense, even if he’s grinding to keep in front of opponent ball-handlers he still can get plowed through. In the long term, he doesn’t project as a switch defender regardless.

Ztráta pro Floridu. NHL potrestala obránce Ekblada za úder loktem do hlavy

Ekblad trefil soupeře ve druhé třetině, rozhodčí ho však nepotrestali. Florida vyhrála 4:2 a v sérii vede 3:1 na zápasy. Hagel utkání nedohrál a kvůli zranění nenastoupí ani k dalšímu zápasu s obhájci Stanleyova poháru, které je na programu v noci na čtvrtek.Devětadvacetiletý Ekblad dostal trest jen krátce poté, co mu skončil dvacetizápasový distanc za doping. Kanadský mistr světa z roku 2015 po návratu zatím nastoupil v sérii s Tampou Bay ke dvěma zápasům a připsal si jednu branku.

Marc-Andre Fleury’s surprise relief appearance for Wild ‘would have been perfect with a win’

LAS VEGAS — Marc-Andre Fleury has always had a flair for the dramatic during his Hall of Fame career, and his surprise relief appearance in goal for the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday was no different.Fleury, 40, found out early in the second intermission that starter Filip Gustavsson was too ill to finish the game. So, Fleury had some time to move around a bit, to catch a few balls off the wall. Fleury, set to retire after this season, hadn’t played in two weeks since what everyone thought was his swan song in overtime of the Wild’s regular-season finale.AdvertisementFleury stopped six of seven shots in the third period and overtime, but the Wild lost to the Vegas Golden Knights 3-2 to fall behind 3-2 in the first-round playoff series.Fleury also got one last game at T-Mobile Arena, where he played […]

‘The potential is there’ – but will Hamilton, Ferrari make breakthrough?

Miami hosts the second Sprint event of the Formula 1 season this weekend, six weeks after the first of the year in China had seemingly provided early lift-off for both Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari career and the Italian team's season.It may not have been a full Grand Prix, but the seven-time champion's pole and impressive win in the 19-lap race at the Shanghai International Circuit appeared significant at the time, given it came at the start of just his second race weekend with the team and after what had been a tricky debut in Australia. Ferrari have not hit the same heights in the five full-length races this season, with Hamilton's struggles in the SF-25 particularly pronounced, although Charles Leclerc's run to their first Grand Prix podium of the year last time out in Saudi Arabia did offer more promise.The issue […]
