    In response to SomeGuy

Cannady's repertoire has been expanded this year. The solution is no longer just chasing him around the floor as he added moves to the basket and mid-range shots. In addition, he can lull you to sleep for 1/2 second from 23 feet out and make 3 point shots.

The one guy and only one guy who gave him fits was Duke's Barrett, a premier defender, who is also 6'7" tall. Coach K knew that Cannady was the guy that he had to stop and he put Barrett on him. Not only did Barrett chase him around the court with tremendous quickness/willpower but the the biggest equalizer was LONG ARMS and being 6'7". Barrett took away good 3 pt shots from Cannady on that day, 2-10. Otherwise, Devin has found good enough looks against every team although his 3 pt shooting percentage has tailed off from the start of the season.

Probably, the best bet for a team is send your most athletic defender against him with longer arms and insturctions not to foul but simply pray that he does not shoot lights out. On a typical night, Devin will get his shots and points but probably the key is to stop everyone else that-- is why Llewellyn needs to step up and have a strong game for the Tigers. 3 pt shooters like Devin can have great and not so great shooting nights but realistically he is a 40-45% 3 pt shooter and he has gotten better like fine wine.
