Thanks for posting this.... I don't begrudge the number of 3 pointers, what irks me is when our senior uncorks one or two of them on the run 3 seconds into the shot clock....... those "we can get *that* shot at any point in the possession, and ideally when the shot clock has run down and we have exhausted higher percentage options" sort of shots. No one can argue he also on occasion makes some of those "heat check" variety attempts, but I am not so sure he makes enough to justify the number......one could also say if we have the rebounding advantage under the basket, maybe it is a good thing to fling one up there and go get the rebound I guess. Good to see that we are trending in good directions statistically speaking! Go Beavers! Therein lies the problem... You CAN'T get that shot at anytime in the possession. I mean, there is a reason why the transition three exists and is proliferating, and it isn't because every basketball player and coach is dumb... A transistion three that is wide open is a good shot, in many cases it was probably the best shot of an entire possesion if it is passed up. The shot clock is really only a condern in late game and up situations. I totally agree that we need to improve our three point percentage, and I also don't mind a high number of threes being taken. The encouraging thing to me so far this season is that when the three isn't falling, the players have the presence of mind to TRY SOMETHING ELSE  In particular both Stevie and Tres seem cognizant of the "help the team in another way" mandate if their offense isn't clicking. Where as last year Stevie would just happily missed 10 shots in a row   |

Where as last year Stevie would just happily missed 10 shots in a row agreed except for the part about Stevie. He strikes me as more conscientious than to not care about the effect of missed 3 pointers. In fact, selfishness does not seem to be a component on this team. Until this year the more descriptive word is aimlessness. So far that word is not applying nearly as much. |
