Some stats on 3-point shooting last year of high school:  Judah 46% (18/39); Benny 50% (2/4) (limited sample); Bunch 24% (15/62); Copeland 0% (no attempts but IMG only lists a few games and I noticed the previous year he scored threes most games and sometimes multiple threes, not sure about efficiency, but maybe he can develop a shot); Taylor 14% (1/7) (IMG only lists a few games; heard he slumped recently but is a good shooter -- hopefully those few games aren't a good indicator).

Judah is a really good shooter and he uses pump fakes from the perimeter to blow by his defender and pull up from mid-range.  His perimeter shooting is really encouraging considering he's the most likely of the freshman to start and play a lot of minutes.  Taylor and Bunch will have to shoot well from 3 to get playing time.  Whichever of those two finds their perimeter stroke early will probably be awarded a starting spot, unless we get a transfer forward.

I don't expect Benny to shoot 3s next year as his jumper was really flat and needs to be re-worked, but if he can hit wide open 3s from time to time that would be a huge asset for stretching the defense.  He needs to focus on creating on the dribble and getting to the cup, which I have no doubt will click at some point--just hope it clicks sooner rather than later. He also needs a mid-range.
