Coaches are constantly screaming that at players who are not covering the 3-point shooters on the other team, but it can be just as true from a strategic standpoint on the offensive side. Every year I see stat sheets of teams that allow bad shooters to blast away - and blast them right out of a lot of games. If players cannot make shots, they should not be shooting shots.
Of the returning players, Josh Hagins and Mareik Isom are known quantities. Maurius Hill and Roger Woods showed they can make an occasional three, although that is not the strength of their game. Jalen Jackson has been inconsistent. At UCA he shot 48.4% from the arc, but last year in juco only 32.4%. Marcus Johnson hit 40.6% in juco.
So, we have some long-range weapons. It will take some time to see who is best, but we need to have the best shooters taking most of the shots.
