I think people are overthinking things.  It is early season and the team hasn't really played with each other much this year.  Give it time for the PG play to jell.

As for 3 point shooting, many young players take time to develop their shot in high level college basketball.  Here are some UConn players first year in college 3 point shooting:

Marcus Williams  0.176
[B]Brendan Adams  0.235[/B]
Donyell Marshall  0.242
Taliek Brown  0.250
[B]Akok Akok  0.261
Jalen Gaffney  0.264[/B]
Kemba Walker  0.271
Jalen Adams  0.273
AJ Price  0.273
Craig Austrie  0.303
[B]Tyrese Martin  0.311[/B]
Jerome Dyson  0.326
Shabazz Napier 0.326
John Gwynn  0.333
[B]James Bouknight  0.347
RJ Cole  0.359[/B]
Christian Vital  0.366
Richard Hamilton  0.376
Ryan Boatright  0.377
Chris Smith  0.385
Ray Allen  0.402
[B]Tyler Polley  0.417[/B]

The list tells me that players will improve their 3 point shooting over time and that the current roster has 3 or 4 potential shooters:  Polley, Cole, Bouknight, and maybe Martin.
