How does Bell go from 40% to less than 25%

Game turned on that ridiculous 3 attempt by Taylor early in the shot clock. They hit a transition dunk, stop, bucket.

If we get a score instead of Taylor’s brick we’re up 8.
That was a horrible turn in the game. First Moore missed a 3, he was open, then GT went down court, missed and Taylor got the rebound dribbling it racing over half court. I was in shock that he just stopped well behind the 3 point line and shot it, killing a great transition opportunity. Of course GT got the rebound and ended up with a dunk. In just 27 seconds we went from 6 up to possibly 8 or 9 , to being up only 4. It killed momentum.
 
All of them.

Bell from 42% to 23%
JJ from 32% to 29%
Carlos 34% to 21%
Taylor from 35% to 8%
Davis from 26% to 14%

Well Cuffe has gone from 40% to 50% in 5mpg.

Listen, I’m not a necessarily disagreeing with you.

But you need way more info here. First, this is 3pt %. Not FG%, or eFG% or TS%. It should be expected that mid major players will perform worse at the ACC level. Only people on this board that drank the kool aid thought these guys were all world. It was a joke from the start.

There are also weird items like Bell doing better from 2PT% than last year.

And here’s the final thing, this team lost its two best players. Replaced them with mediocre, out of shape or bad transfers with the exception of Jyare. That’s going to have a major impact.

There’s a lot more that goes into this than GMac leaving. It ain’t like we were world beating last year.

Its most likely that this team just has guys that couldn’t make the jump and are coached poorly and there are no players like Maliq and Judah to make life easier.

So I’m sure GMac helped, but he’s been on the bench while we’ve been dive bombing. He’s not exactly known as Chip Engelland.

We are, without a doubt, a dreadful three point shooting team. But this isn’t just a GMac thing.
 
Maybe it's the new blue seats? Everyone's depth perception is off?

You don't have home/road/neutral splits handy, do you?

I do.

Bell home 17 away 30
JJ home 28 away 31
Carlos home 25 away 17
Taylor home 10 away 0
Davis 17 away 0

The question was about 3pt shooting. My reply was solely about 3pt shooting. A good shooting coach helps a 3pt shooter.

My bad re it being about 3pt%. I missed that.

I still would attribute it to the guys we brought in can’t play at this level for the most part and losing the best two players.

its not like this was a good three point shooting team last year (in fact, it was awful overall). We’re just worse this year.
 
If he shot it a tiny bit better than last year I can assure you he was getting drafted. I know this for a fact. But that’s not happening now
A slight correction, you don't know it for a fact since it didn't happen. Kids get told things all the time that turn out to not be true. Also, what is better? If he didn't miss a shot he would have got drafted.
 
The answer to why everyone is shooting so poorly is because the best three-point shooter especially clutch three-point shooter in Syracuse basketball history is no longer on the coaching staff. He understood the psyche of a shooter. GMAC
