I disagree on the weapons part.
They have some of the best guard and wing talent in the country. They just don't make a ton of 3's but they have multiple guys who are capable of dropping 15 or 20 on you.
Nate Hinton: 113 offensive rating, elite rebounder for a wing, ALPHA, 37% from 3
Quentin Grimes: Has really struggled in Conference play, but has carried Houston in multiple games this year. Very Capable shooter and scorer. Defends well
Caleb Mills: 109.3 offensive rating in Conference play, Clutch as ever, gets his own shot and does it in crunch Time off the bench. Not a great defender and doesn't start, but finishes games for Houston.
Dejon Jareau: terrible shooter, but we have no one who can guard this dude. Gets fouled at will and gets to the rim at will.
And even less used guys like Fabian White, And Marcus Sasser ( 36% from 3) can hurt you.
I mean, Last year Cedric Alley JR played 45% of his positions minutes. This year, he only plays 17% and its because Mills, Sasser, Gorham and Chris Harris have stepped up to steal their minutes.
