Yante Maten got the ball at the top of the key with Vanderbilt forward Luke Kornet guarding him. Given the fact Maten’s athleticism allows him to drive with the basketball, Kornet didn’t press him defensively.
Maten then took a quick jab step in, which backed Kornet up a step or two further. From there, it was an easy decision.
“There’s too much space,” Maten said to himself.
Maten took the 3-point attempt and it went in. Later in Georgia’s 76-68 win over Vanderbilt, Maten did the same move with the same result. He made two of his three 3-point attempts en route to a game-high 21 points.
