[QUOTE="gte447f, post: 519966, member: 4289"] Slugboy, nice stats. Thanks for posting. The 3 pt stats indicate that we only have one good 3 pt shooter (Alston), but he is getting limited attempts, so who knows if he is really a 50% 3 pt shooter (probably not). If he is, then I say he should be taking 6-8 3's per game, and we should be running some better offense to get him open looks. The 3 pt and 2 pt stats tell me that Haywood is too one dimensional, relying too much on his supposed 3 pt shooting prowess, and if you watch him in the games (a lot of standing in one spot on the 3 pt line), you are left with this impression also. He is actually our best 2 pt % shooter by the numbers, and yet he is 8th on the team in 2 pt attempts. I think he needs to be encouraged to be more involved in looking for scoring opportunities other than just 3 pt shots. It's obvious that we are not a good 3 pt shooting team, and the 4 out perimeter game looking to shoot 20 plus 3's per game is not going to be a recipe for success. The coaches seem to have dialed this strategy back a little with the emergence of Banks in the low post, but we need to see more activity to get the guards either more 2 pt scoring opportunities or absolutely wide open 3's.
