Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 2779259, member: 5787"] IMO, Polley and Brendan Adams will be the two guys who will help transition this team to a better outside shooting team. Before I expand on that, here's a list of our current players and their 3P% based from most recent to oldest season: [B]Polley: [/B]41.7% J. Adams: 32.4%, 35%, 27.3% Tarin Smith: 33.3%, 21.2% Vital: 31.8%, 36.6% Gilbert: 22.7%, 22.2% Here's some words about Sid Wilson and Brendan Adams and their shooting: [B]Sid Wilson's self-assessment: [/B]"My strengths are my athleticism, I can score in different ways, I can play on both ends of the court. [B]My weakness is my shooting ability[/B].” [B]Jaylen Adams on his bro Brendan: [/B]“He’s a scorer first,” Jaylen said. “A real big guard, good at using his body, getting into the lane. But he can score at all three levels and we kind of play opposite. Me, I was a point guard first. He was a scorer first, and a point guard. He brings those intangibles while just learning how to score. He’s a way better scorer than me. … [B][At UConn], they’re going to fall in love with his jump shot[/B].” I'm still open to see what Wilson can show with his jump shot, but it sounds like B. Adams and Polley are our best bets to develop as our long-term, knock-down 3 point shooters. Hopefully Vital stabilizes his outside shot, and you know Jalen will always take his shots, but I'm hoping Gilbert and Smith focus more on distributing, penetrating and working on a mid-range game than settling for outside shots.
