Have to distract myself from the football disgrace...
Geo Baker's shot looked really good both in warm-ups and in the full-court drills. With a reduced burden on him to do everything I could see him leading the team in 3P%.
Conversely Ron Harper had a tough day shooting the ball. But I still think he can be in the 32-34% range.
The team seemed to have designed plays to get 3-pointers for Baker, Kiss, Yeboah, and Harper. None for Caleb McConnell which I found surprising.
Speaking of McConnell, I hardly recognized him. Part of it is the corn rows but he just looks older, stronger, and less baby-faced than last year. He also shot the ball pretty well from what I saw and also seemed to have the ball in his hands a good amount.
Yeboah has a nice looking shot as well. I suspect his playing time will be related to how good of a rebounder he can be.
Montez Mathis' shot does look slightly better but still looks like a sub-30% guy to me. He also missed a lot in the rapid-fire free throw drill they ran.
I was pleasantly surprised with Paul Mulcahy's shot. From some of what I'd read and heard I was expecting it to be pretty poor but he hit a few in a row from the corner, though there were some clunkers he threw up too. If he's willing to shoot it then we can have him on the floor even with Young or Baker as the primary ballhandler.
A lot of guys were attempting long shots with their toes on the 3-point line. Still adjusting to the new distance I suppose.
Couldn't really get any reads on the big men given that everything was run against no defense.
Jacob Young looks like the best athlete on the team. Couldn't really get a sense of his finishing or distributing skills for the same reason, no defense was being played.
Peter Kiss had some moments but the shot was still inconsistent. I think he'll play slightly fewer minutes than last year, but more than people here have speculated.
