KenPom added a new stat to his team pages going back to the 201-22 season, average two-point attempt distance (on both offense and defense). It's pretty self-explanatory, but it does include attempts resulting in fouls. Here's where we have stacked up:

2022 Offense: 7.0ft (243rd)
2022 Defense: 6.3ft (244th)

2023 Offense: 7.1ft (290th)
2023 Defense: 6.4ft (219th)

2024 Offense: 6.7ft (257th)
2024 Defense: 6.0ft (273rd)

2025 Offense: 6.7ft (274th)
2025 Defense: 6.6ft (58th)

2026 Offense: 6.0ft (199th)
2026 Defense: 6.3ft (111th)

In 2022 and 2023, we had Jesse but still struggled to get close looks outside of him as Jimmy, Buddy, Joe and Judah soaked up possessions. In 2025, as much as Lampkin left to be desired, offenses were largely afraid of initiating contact with him and to a lesser extent Davis. This year's been more of a mixed bag but I think it's safe to say that our bad three-point shooting has cost us opportunities to get close looks, especially with Kyle being more of a rim-runner than a bigger-bodied guy who backs dudes down.
