2p shooting percentage Richardson and Cooney

[Millhouse]

It's so strange that our Richardson and Cooney have flipped their 2 pt and 3 pt shooting percentages in conference.

32% from 2, 44% from 3 combined.

I can't figure this stuff out.

Lydon struggling from 2 as well.

pretty rare in the acc. it's a pretty recent thing. i'm ok if guys only practice 3 pointers if that's all they shoot

Let me help. 2 point shots are more contested. Infinitely more

60 footers are uncontested. should we take those?

In Cooney's best game of the year he still shot under 50% from the field.

Has he had any fastbreak dunks this year btw? He loves the two foot two hand from the left side of the rim on fast breaks.

Sometimes if you are tightly guarded you try to get into the lane for a closer easier shot. It's not always an easier shot but in the speed of the game you don't know that until you're into the shot. Put your little pocket protector away and try talking to somebody who actually played basketball down on the court.

Gotta keep defenders honest. Cooney will never be a good finisher, but he can get hot with his pullup jumpers. A mid-range jumper isn't always the best shot, but it works when they chase you off the 3-point line and you can't get to the rim. Malachi has much more potential as a driver/finisher, I think he's just a freshman adjusting to physical conference play.

you don't say!

They use the 3 pt line like a range finder. If they didn't have the line to consistently judge distance, they wouldn't be as good from it. It appears Gbinije routinely practices from 3 feet beyond, considering how good he is from that distance, but he still uses the feel of the line, I expect.
