As for Curtis...I don't think he's a sharp shooter either. Teams are going to pack the paint on us. We are going to have to shoot them out of it somehow. In the past...weight lifting, getting in shape, and training have been a huge focus in the off season and getting ready for the following year. At this point I would almost trade all of that for exclusive 3 point shooting until next season starts...LOL! Every player...every shot...hahaha |

Over 3pt shooting our returning players need to work on dribbling and just flat out better hands. Got too many players that can't dribble against pressure and can't come down with the ball under contact. Moore probably has worse hands ever, he can't catch the ball or shoot it

It's pretty easy for defenses when all you have to do is find 1 shooter on the court. Jenifer made things twice as hard by giving us a 2nd option. Imagine if we had 3 shooters? It's (the shooting) going to have to come from Williams, Johnson, or Curtis. Those are very likely going to be the guards in the short rotation outside of Cumberland. That is not a promising shooting bunch!! I guess we can hope Scott helps or one of the other bigs? |

So in terms of 3 point shooting we have Curtis coming in. The rest of our wings/guards we have some data. Not sure on the new bigs of course (Prince & Hardnett) or if Diara will play much. Jenifer is gone and so is Broome.
Curtis 32.5% HS senior year. Likely that % would go down unless he is really good at spot up shooting and didn't get much chance to do that because he was the focal point. 30% would not be good for us. Williams finished the year 27%...OUCH...but twice as good as last year...LOL! Fredericks 24%....yikes...awful Moore 27%....for a shooter...just turrible LoJo 25%...not good...has more time to fix than Moore or Fredericks Scott 31%...low volume...but the next best shooter to Jenifer? Broome was at an awful 30% on the year. Part of me expects Cumberland's numbers (%) to go down as well because I thought he had a very good year from 3. All of this adds up to a shit show in terms of shooting. |

Last 16 games: Scott was 10/28 (35.8%) from 3 I think Scott can shoot close to that 35% clip again with continued work on his shot in the offseason. That would be a big boost to our offense if he could be a respectable threat from deep. |

Wide open set shooting should be a minimum of 30% and to be honest probably should be closer to 35% plus. Expecting improvements from the supporting cast should not be even close to asking to much. |
