Ok - fighting the covid and a little bored so chew on this.
First - while I never supported it - I did play on a high school team that basically passed it around the parameter until
the force was with someone and they fired up a long one.
1. One thing that I can attest to is that there are some people that are great 3 point shooters - no matter the situation and no matter the coverage - hand in the face or not -
they are going to make their share.
2. There are others that given open shots - passive d - small guards without much in the way of hands in their face or being contested - these guys are going to kill it from 3 and shoot a crazy high percentage.
3. There are still others that while they shoot a great percentage under category 2 above - when tightly contested with a hand in their face - their 3 pt. percentage drops dramatically when
they are not able to set themselves, prepare, have a clean follow threw, etc.
Observations:
Currently in SEC play we have Vescovi - at 40 % from 3 - so we will ignore him.
After that, what guards do we rely on since our plan and model is molded around 3 point shooting.
You pick the shooter we should be going to for 3's.
We have Chandler at .143
or Zeigler at .231
or James at .211
Or Bailey at .143
Collectively those guys are 19.5 percent from 3.
Not a huge jump to Powell at .286
or Olivier at .286 but still an improvement.
Just an observation -
Other observations - Fulky has been non - existent in SEC play - likely from covid - his 4 for 8 in SEC free throws tells me he is even struggling to get enough energy to get his free throws up there.
Leading rebounders -
Uros - 19
Olivier - 18
Santi - 17
James -14
Chandler is 8/13 when not shooting 3's.
James can play great defense, pass and rebound - it appears he can't consistently shoot the 3. He could not shoot the 3 last season either. Should someone consider moving him back to the 4?
Chandler's and Zeigler's assist to turnover ratios are about 1 to 1 -- not that great when weighed against Vescovi's almost 3 to 1 assist to turnover percentage against the same competition - not that great really under any circumstance for your pgs.
All just food for thought - and submitted for your consideration - here on this segment of the VOL 3-point shooting "twilight zone."
Feel free to opine.
