SU teams usually have one or two guys who can knock down 3-point shots with regularity.   SU often struggles at the free throw line going way back.   And SU usually has a couple of guys who can create their shots and knock them down fairly consistently.

SU recruits for the 2-3 zone defense which may have an impact on the number of good shooting players on the roster at any given time.  A really good point guard who limits turnovers and who can control tempo can make up for poor shooting especially when the defense is very good (see last season), but even last season we saw how important it is to knock down open shots.

This season SU is mostly the victim of its own success.   Too many players have left early for the NBA.   At the same time the shooting woes this year had to be a concern based on last season.   Let's hope some of these younger players can find the range and maybe some of the older players can find some confidence.
