Adams and CV shot 32% from 3 last year.  Prior year Adams shot 35% and CV 37%.  Dip last year  to 32% maybe as much shot selection/tiredness as lack of ability.  Not so much of a stretch to see potential of 40% in either/both as both are solid foul shooters.  Team shot 32.6% overall from 3's last year.

Kemba 2011 team shot 32.9% from 3's; both Kemba and Bazz shot 33% that year (as did Giffey)  (Bazz and Giffey shot 41% and 48% respectively in 2014).  2011 turned out pretty good.

Polley was 42% from 3's last year.

For all the talk about poor offensive sets (and much warranted) here are last year vs. 2014 and 2011 overall scoring and defense stats:

Uconn Pts Per Game         Opponent Pts Per Game

2017                      68.2                                      73.1
2014                      70.6                                     63.4
2011                       72.4                                     64.9

One 3 pointer per game gets 2017 team scoring to 2014 level, lot of stops needed to get to those years defensive stats.  Play tough and with some Kemba/Lamb/Bazz/Giffey/Boat type aggressiveness/smarts on offense and defense and a lot of things get better (or end up good enough like the 2011 team's 3 point shooting % at 32.9%).
