Message: [QUOTE="JustbrewitMan, post: 4042786, member: 7806"] I'm so sick of everyone fretting over us being a bad 3pt shooting team with no/limited 3pt shooters!!! We are going to be %$#^$%&^ fine, people. Our 3 highest-volume 3pt shooters (RJ, Tyler, Gaff) are all back and shot a collective 36.9% from 3pt land. One of them (Gaff) made a leap from 26.4% to 36.2% on similar volume from freshman to sophomore year. I expect him to be as good/improve this year One of them (Tyler) saw his overall % dip from ~40% to ~36% compared to previous year. BTW, he was coming off an ACL injury. I would be shocked if he shot worse than 35% this year, not at all surprised to see him get 40+% One of them (RJ) was his first year at high-level D1 ball. Took him probably half of a wack start-stop COVID-affected season to get comfortable. BTW, in his last 10 games, he shot 44.4% from 3 on good volume. Our secondary 3pt shooters: -Whaley: In his 1st ever season shooting 3's as part of his game, he showed he is capable of making them at a decent clip on decent volume (~35%). Would be shocked if he regresses. -Tyrese: Finished the last 7 games in a heck of a slump (1/17), but was 15/33 (45%) prior to that. I'm sure he's worked like heck on his shot over the summer and I don't think his mechanics are that horrible, so I expect him to be 30-35% Wildcards: -I would bet that out of the collective of AJ, Akok, Rahsool, Hawkins, CFJ, and Samson, that at least 1-2 will emerge to be a 35-40% shooter on decent volume, the rest will collectively fall somewhere in the 27-35% range. Bonus take: -Don't sleep on Richie Springs! [/QUOTE]
