The old, old story

Who shoots the most 3-pointers on this team? Markquis Nowell - by a bunch. He has attempted 37, and the next most is Jaizec Lottie with 21. So that must mean Nowell is out best shooter, right? Right? Wrong again. He is shooting a lovely 27% from the arc. Tucker is at 46%, Burns 40%, Pippins 40%, Lottie 33%. And those are just the ones with double figure attempts. We have other options, but we let the undersized point guard blast away, even if he doesn't make them. How many times have we seen this song before? Granted it is early, and Nowell may correct the problem before long. But if Coach Walker goes all season letting Nowell shoot us out of games, then he is not doing his job.
