Somebody needs to talk me off the ledge because it appears as though Coach Byington is putting a premium and spending NIL on guys who can’t shoot for shit.
MJ Collins - 27.4% career 3 pt shooter - 82.7% ft shooter (v good)
Grant Huffman - 29.3% career 3 pt shooter - 66.2% ft shooter (wtf)
Tyler Nickel - 37.1% career 3 pt shooter - 82.6% ft shooter (much better)
Then you have Bilal and Tyler Tanner.
While there are some things to like about this group, basketball has trended towards a big emphasis on 3 point shooting and spreading the floor. If you can’t make threes, you become easy to defend if Collins and Huffman are ever on the floor at the same time, we will become very easy to defend (ala Ezra and Tyrin).
I know I’m probably overreacting here but this roster isn’t looking like it’s going to be a good 3 pt shooting group and coming off of Stack, that’s about the last thing I want to watch.
@Joey Dwyer - are we in on any good shooters? Is my concern unfounded? I know we haven’t seen a Byington team play and I think that if we play in transition a lot, we can steal a lot of easy points but in the half court, this collection of players so far has me concerned.
PS - this post will inevitably be followed with a post where I have us in the Sweet 16 by mid summer.
