Every single player on the team has shot better for their career than the teams current three point percentage. (Well, I guess Lampkin hitting his only career attempt is a positive.)

Reverting to the mean doesn't mean they'll be great going forward, just that they won't be this bad.

If Bell alone had shot his career average, we'd have scored 3.33 points better per game... Also, Bell shot far lower volume of threes than last year, in exchange for more twos.

If those extra twos aren't dunks, but designed two point jumpers by Bell, the strategy is going the wrong direction.  If it's because Bell just hasn't gotten hot from three so far, we can expect a breakout any game now.

I like the idea of using our interior size to bully boy smaller teams, but there isn't going to be much of that going forward.  Every ACC team has players that can at least compete with Lampkin physically, and Davis, Freeman and Majstorovic aren't unusually large physical specimens in major college basketball.

We will shoot better on threes, and that has to be led by Bell, Starling and to a lesser extent, Freeman.

I feel a Bell Barrage coming against Texas.
