Fair question.

Doesn't need to be a 40% perimeter shooter to make our 3 point capabilities much more potent.

We have (hopefully) White and Lydon. Both 40% three point shooters. Gillon who can knock them down with a quick release. Frank and Battle who potentially could draw defenders if they're shots have improved, yet to be seen.

Even TT supposedly has potential/is already a threat from 15 ft out.

At that point, anyone you add who can hit open threes makes the perimeter offense and general offense as a whole that much more of a nightmare.

White and Lydon alone will need defenders on them at all times. Add guys like Gillon and theoretically BJ too, and you get very open forwards and centers downlow. Opens up all sorts of lanes.

With Moyer injured.

Gillon/Howard/Battle
Battle/White/Gillon
White/Lydon/BJ
Roberson/Lydon/TT
Coleman/Chukwu/Lydon/TT

Though he'd only see maybe 10 minutes a game, it's just another man with scoring abilities and fresh legs that the D needs to worry about.

Looking at that 10 man rotation though it becomes more evident how good of a decision it was for BJ to transfer to Lasalle. He's an enormously athletic and talented player that would provide 95% of teams with a quality starter. This just happens to be one of the most talented and deep SU rosters in quite some time.
