2018 stats 158 out of 514 = .307
- 27 of 112 for Nared
then 131 - 412 = .314
50 - 140 Jackson .357
305-738 past great Angie Bjorkland
in an offense with screens for her.
so what is acceptable per individual player and team?
.357 is certainly acceptable so Jackson certainly should be shooting them. .314 is terrible shouldn't be taking three point shots far less than one point per attempt.
We definitely always need a player like Bjorklund on the roster and Pat recognized this and we've gotten away from it with Holly in the past few season. Dunbar might have been that player but Holly never used her in that regard.
Bjorklund 915 points on 738 shots is fantastic for a three point shooter. You got someone shooting 41 percent like her you want them to take at least 8 a game and should be designated as the player that takes them. Jackson is not in that category but she certainly should take the shot before Nared or several others that were shooting a lot last season.
the statistic that doesn't exist for the public is the percent of rebounds the LVs get following a missed 3-pointer or the percent that result in points. the ole cliche of a good shot should include the ability to compete for the offensive rebound.
Assume team hitting 33%. If a team converted 30% of the 67 of missed three-pointers in 100 three point attempts = 99 (from 3s) + 40 or 1.14 points per possession .
another stat I have always felt was significant was the number of blocks versus fouling the shooter on three attempts. The good shooter would benefit from knowing the percentage when the defensive player is waving hands.
There in is our problem poor three point shooting team and our offensive rebounding was not where it needed to be. We also were terrible at giving up offensive rebounds on other teams misses. Games where we were really terrible we LSU, Texas A&M down there, and Bama they kept shooting until they made a basket.
If she shoots 8 a game and they go deep enough to give her 30 game, she would end up with 100 makes at 41%.
I hope her summer coach is teaching her to utilize her speed to get the open looks by making her be able to do a 1-dribble attack from any point of the arc. That way the defender has to play "off of her" and cannot play on top of her at the arc.
Meme should be able to get from arc-to-glass in one dribble in about .8 seconds. This is also the time it should take for a shooter to go from reception/dribble-pickup, to release of shot. If her summer coach can get her at these levels (and they SHOULD be able to do this) (I could!), Meme will have a career year.
Rebounding on 3's is different than rebounding a 2 because the 3 usually proceeds a long rebound. that rebound is most likely captured by a quick determined wing player facing the hoop. that's why so many 3's tend to create offensive rebounds.the statistic that doesn't exist for the public is the percent of rebounds the LVs get following a missed 3-pointer or the percent that result in points. the ole cliche of a good shot should include the ability to compete for the offensive rebound.

Meme was always a catch and shoot perimeter shooter. I don't think I've seen her show that she can beat you off the dribble if you close in on her on the perimeter, or a consistent pull up mid-range jumper. She'd have to completely reinvent her game to play that way.

I dont think the low percentages are indicative of how well a player shoots as much as it shows how bad the offensive system is. Id love to see a stat of our percentages off catch and shoot triples vs. dribble then shoot. Greater emphasis has to be made on driving and kicking to the open shooter, or for an interior player to find the open shooter so we get as many catch and shoot opportunities as possible. It is rare to find collegiate woman who is efficient from deep either creating her own shot or shooting after taking a few dribbles. The main ones I can think of off hand are Mabrey/Ogunbowale at ND and Durr at Louisville. All of the UCONN 40-50% shooters take wide open looks and always catch the ball in rhythm. Our players dont. We regularly see bad shots jacked up from deep, and if a player doesnt catch the ball in the shooter pocket or if they have to put the ball on the floor, the chance of hitting the look goes down significantly. Previous bombers like Lawson, Zolman, Bjorklund, Stricklen, etc. were always best when taking catch and shoot threes. Until we get better ball movement and improve shot selection, I dont see the percentages improving.
