Three Point Shooting

[*23*]

Every offseason, we think the coming season will be our best 3 point shooting team ever. Last off season and through the season, Mooney hyped the team as a great shooting team. I think we have been through that rodeo enought times to believe it won't happen.

But so far, this team has several players shooting it really well from 3:

AJ - 40% - which is what he shot last season
Johnston - .417 a little above what he shot at LMU
Tyne - .393 - which is a good jump from .27 last season.
David Thomas - .565 crazy good, and even better than his historic 40% as a freshman
Daughtry - .333 on only 9 attemps. Shot 40% last year and looks like a 40% 3pt shooter from his stroke.
Argabright - .308 - came in from HS known for his shooting, it looks good,
Walz - .412 - continuing strong showing from last season

That is 5 guys shooting around 40% or better. Pretty darn good if it can hold up anywhere close in A10 play.

We're currently ranked 108th in 3-point shooting at 35.7%, so pretty decent but not outstanding. Tanner and AP are shooting just as many threes as the other guys yet hitting less than 20%, so that's dragging us down.

Take those two guys out of the equation and we'd be shooting 39.8% as a team, which would be 20th in the nation.

AP needs to focus on driving to the hoop and short shots around the rim. Forget the 3.

His coach needs to tell him that and put him on the bench if he doesn't understand.

I'm the same way, I see two out of three go in and I think I am Dell Curry.

I understand. How about, "if you make your first, you get 2 more, if you make one of those, you get 2 more, if you miss 2 in a row you stop shooting the 3. If you don't follow the rules you finish up sitting with me."
