looking for answers and I see some interesting things.
1) we're shooting slightly better from 2 this year ... but taking only 30 shots from 2 per game vs 37 from 2 last year. where are those 7 shots going? well ...
2) we're taking more than 5 more shots per game from 3 this year, and not making them. we made 7.3 threes per game last year ... 7.4 this year. percentagewise, we made 36.2% last year vs an astounding 28.9% this year (which ranks #340). and to repeat ... we take more. smh
3) assists are down 19% ... because we can't shoot.
4) turnovers are up 27%. fouls are up 27%. yikes.
5) our offensive rebounds per game are up, but still awful. our defensive rebounds per game are up, and very strong (#23 in the country).
defensively, opponents take and make too many 3's. and they take and make too many foul shots. but the overall defensive numbers aren't as drastic as the change in our 3 point shooting. tough to win games when you're 340th in 3 point percentage when almost half of your shots are from 3.
Roche - 49% from 3. keep firing.
DeLo - taking 3 times as many 2's as 3's. good job
Dusan - 67% driving from 2, vs 24% from 3 ... but taking many more 3's than 2's. drive!
AP - 49 threes and only 16 twos??? let's go. attack the rim.
