After serving as an electric shooter from the bench, Jamarion Batemon will look to increase his role on a Cyclone roster that lost some significant pieces from beyond the arc in the off-season. Batemon is one of many recruits to come from Wisconsin during the Otzelberger tenure, hailing from Milwaukee.
Key Match Highlights & Tactical Analysis
Batemon was largely hot and cold throughout the season, bouncing between unstoppable from beyond the arc to some games being dreadful. If Batemon wants to maintain his starting spot in front of some other dynamic shooting guards, especially once Killyan Toure returns from injury.
The immediate impact he has is from beyond the arc. Over two-thirds of his total field goal attempts came from beyond the arc, where he would shoot at a 37% clip. As is the life of a sharp shooter, Batemon had his highs and lows. Against Alcorn State, he went off for a season high 26 points while going 7-10 from deep. While everyone remembers the Heise three pointer against Houston, Batemon hit a huge three right before it to take a one point lead with 2:10 remaining in the game.
