The 2pt% for Scoop and Dion is blazing.  RJ shot 59% last year from the center position.  The easy answer is our guards are getting a lot of fast break points, but then why isn't Brandon able to get the same points?  Doesn't jive.  Not trying to knock BT, but these numbers would seem to indicate Scoop and Dion are just better at creating their own shots, getting to the rack and finishing.  College is a guard dominated game driven by the ability to break down defenders and get to the hoop for easy buckets.  We surely need BT's three point shooting, but we have two guards who are killing it from inside the arc through 18 games.
