Leon Bond’s 10 points were another encouraging sign for the freshmen. His lone three-point attempt didn’t fall, but he looked confident taking it - a great sign for the future. On offense, he excelled as a finisher in transition, picking up 10 points on 5-7 shooting from the field. Dunn came up with a nice block on an Isaac McKneely drive in the first half and a steal in the second. Ryan Dunn showcased the two-way potential and athleticism that he’ll bring to the squad. Traudt exited the game early with what appeared to be a lower left leg injury, but while on the floor looked like an incredibly valuable offensive weapon. The Nebraska product knocked down four of his five attempts from beyond the arc en route to his 12 points, with the only miss coming off a tough step-back triple as the shot clock expired. Meanwhile, Isaac Traudt couldn’t miss from beyond the arc. He finished the game with 9 points on 3-10 shooting (3-7 from three). He may be the best set shooter on the team, and looked confident with his handle when asked to playmaker as a secondary ball-handler. Isaac McKneely started hot, knocking down two early triples. Freshmen make an immediate impactĪll four of Virginia’s incoming freshmen flashed their potential in the Blue-White scrimmage, making it obvious why this class has been touted as Virginia’s best in over half a decade. Taine Murray is another guy to watch as, while he went 1-4 in the scrimmage from deep, he’s got the potential to make shots as well. Assuming they each get meaningful minutes this season, this team is going to be much better at spreading the floor. Traudt, McKneely, and Vander Plas each provide real threats as catch and shoot guys as well. In this contest, he looked much better as a catch-and-shoot shooter which is what he specifically struggled with in 2021-2022. After spending part of the summer with former Wahoo Justin Anderson down in Miami working on his game, Franklin will be hoping for more consistency this season as a shooter. Frankly, that number could’ve been a lot higher as McKneely and Traudt in particular had a few threes go in and out.Īdditionally, Armaan Franklin was far better from the perimeter in this game than he was last season as he went 4-6 from deep. After the ‘Hoos made just 32.3% of its long balls last year, that’s marked improvement and a sign of the impact of Isaac McKneely (3-7), Isaac Traudt (4-5), and Ben Vander Plas (3-4) joining the team. On the entire game, UVA combined to shoot 15-32 (46.8%) from three-point range.

The more you do anything-with conscientious effort, of course (which means attentive revision!)-the better you get at it.Īlso, READING a great deal, not only in the field you plan to write in but other areas as well (e.g., for PLEASURE), will improve your facility with English and the written word. The other thing that will help you feel more confident when approaching a writing task in English is simply doing it over and over. Hopefully, though, the process outlined above will make writing much easier and less momentus (or mountainous) for you. After all, we always feel anxiety before a test, a competition, or some other event about which we care a great deal. Sadly, there is no way to completely remove all the difficulty nor all the anxiety from a process such as writing.
