Better 3-point shooting

One stat that this team definitely needs to improve this year is 3-point shooting. We were at 32.5% last year, which in today's game won't get it done. We were 8th in the conference in that catogory. We have some good shooters and have brought in more, so that is not the problem. Our problem last year was that we had too many people shooting 3s who were not making them. That sounds simplistic, but what it boils down to is that Shields had too many green lights on the court (or the players were ignoring the red lights). If Mareik has indeed permanently found his stroke that will go a long way toward solving the problem. Also, Isler is gone, who was a prime offender. However, we also need Devonte either to make shots or back off some on shooting. 

We need guys shooting who are making shots. This year we cannot afford another "laboratory experiment" like Mareik was last season.
