Shooting Percentages on twos and threes

[BillyC80]

Was eye-opening to see both Geo and Ron making better than 70% on twos. Both are shooting less than 32% on threes (Ron at 31% and Geo at 26%). Maybe they should both take it into the paint more and shoot fewer threes? They’d also pick up some FT opportunities.

By comparison Caleb shoots 44% on threes but only 47% on twos, though he does get fouled and is shooting almost 85% from the line. Jacob Young is only shooting 23% from three and only 40% from two and is not very good from the FT line, so maybe he should shoot less altogether.

And maybe when he's in a game in garbage time with a bunch of walk ons, he should pass them the ball and let *them* shoot.

Yeah, that was not a good look for Mr. Young.

The thing about Jacob is that he has some qualities we need to win, especially his defense and ability to push the ball up the floor. If he can just refocus his mindset to be team-first instead of me-first on offense then he’ll play a bigger role in our success.

Put his butt on the bench and let him think about it

Harper's mom would agree with you, Billy.

After today’s game, where McConnell went 1-1 from three and Young went 0-3, Caleb is now at 47% for the year and Jacob is at 19% from beyond the arc.

After the Pitt game we’ll be 1/4 through the season. If the trend continues then Jacob should limit his threes while Caleb will have to pull the trigger more.
