Is it unreasonable to think that with this kind of defense, learning to transition from defense to offense and find a shooting rhythm just takes some time get used to? I find it highly unlikely that we have a team full of guys who are in the SEC but can't shoot. I'm looking for offensive hope here...
Its a different team from last season, but its still half the same guys and we were awful at shooting last year too.
Last season-
- 196th in PPG as a team.
- 29.5% from deep which was 344th.
- 51.7% from inside the arc which was 114th.
- 72.1% from the line which was 160th.
- IN CONFERENCE 3pt FG- 23.7% from deep.
^ Thats pretty abysmal.
So far this season, against weak competition and a couple of decent teams-
- 266th in PPG as a team.
- 29.9% from deep which is 293rd.
- 49.3% from inside the arc which is 230th.
- 61.3% from the line which is 341st.
^ Thats even worse than last year.
Its only 7 games in so maybe the team will magically improve. I sure hope so as I get to go to a couple games this season and really want to stay excited thru the season.
The numbers so far though dont give me confidence. This is against 5 unimpressive teams and a couple decent teams- we are less effective than even last season. The real concern is that its not like we are taking bad 3pt shots and missing. Almost all the 3pt shots we are taking are in rhythm, most are wide open, and very few are off the dribble.
If a couple of perimeter players can become outside concerns, it will really open the paint for Tolu, which would be awesome.
