[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 771742, member: 2299"] Compared to last year we are shooting 3s at nearly the same rate we did in conference play last year. We've reduced our turnovers from dead last at 16 per game in conference last year to 4th at 12 per game this year. We're nearly identical in FG% as well but a good bit worse in FG% defense. We're a good bit worse in rebounding margin. Defensively we've basically traded two blocks a game for two steals a game. We're about 2 assists per game better than last year. Obviously level of opponents and sample size make it hard to judge too accurately. Overall I would say at the moment we're worse than we were in the back half of ACC play last year but still in the middle of the pack. Offensively we're about the same %wise with significantly fewer turnovers so we're clearly better offensively. However we are significantly worse defensively and I don't think at the moment the offense is making up for it. If we can get to 37-38% from 3 on ~25 attempts per game then it will probably make up for it. IMO for us to improve on where we were at the end of last year we need one of three things to happen. Either Bubba needs to step up and consistently be a third guard that justifies going 3 guard as a base, put Moore in and focus on using his defense to improve the overall team defense, or go with an actual center and try to improve on last year by improving at the other 4 spots to make up for the drop off at the 5 spot.
