The ability for SV to take a lot of 3's is not just ability, but the surrounding cast!!!
1) SV is going to need to have two really good point guards, so that he can play the 2 all the time. AND teammates have to get the ball to him ... at the right time, in the right spot, and in the right location.
( He was able to put up 100+ more shots with KC and ZZ at the point, last season). The point guards put up 250+ shots and shot @ .365. Those numbers will have to be replicated again this season.
2) The team has to play at the same pace of play as they did last season. That is rebounding and getting out in transition in a hurry, in order for SV to make a lot of shots in transition. 70+ ppg.
3) SV is going to need JJJ to shoot a higher percentage this season, .... JJJ needs to be a .400+ shooter from deep and not go missing in games - I think he can cover this base, but I am not ready to put a bet on it.
3) Aidoo and Uros have to be very efficient at the 5. This will cause the floor to be spread further(Not worried about this one.)
4) It's the 3/4 slot that gives me pause .... ON showed flashes, but he also 'lost his mind' in some games and he is coming back from injury. So, I will take a wait and see approach. He was not a dominant 4 and does not appear to have outstanding passing skills.
5) I think Tobe is a year away from significant production, so the key players who will make a difference in SV's production are Mash, JP, and DJ.
6) Another factor will be if SV spends more time on slashing to the rim, maintaining possession and finishing. We saw flashes. If he improves that part of his game so that he can do it whenever he wants, that will give him more space to shoot from deep.
My totally uniformed guesses:
He does not break the 102 set last season, because he is an excellent team player and a senior leader! We do not win with one or two great players, we go deep with a great team of players.
3/7 per game for a .428
Which will give him a good chance of getting to #3 on the all time list before the season ends.
SV and JJJ guide this team to a Final Four. (Not minimizing RB's contribution at all.)
