Types of shots

[Cheriehoop]

What’s strange is that 4 of our 8 rotational players exceed .500 on made 2’s (Brown, Edwards, Bell and Torrence) which is considered exceptional while the 5th, Judah Mintz, is a very good .481 inside the arc. Only Girard and Williams are below .450 and Taylor is below .400 at .395. Odd that our ranking on 2’s is that low.

I would love to know what our two point percentage is when Torrance is in the game

Torrence is a solid player, but I really don’t think big picture we’d be any better with him. Maybe we win some of the ones we lost with him coming in down the stretch, but we also probably lose some of the ones that we won.

Torrence would be a good PG on a team of studs who just needed someone to give up the ball at the right time and find them. I love the way he runs point, but this team has no studs to find. The PG has to do way more than just handle the ball and find people, unfortunately. Judah going one on one and making tough shots is unfortunately our best play, too many times.

Roll out 25 year old Rautins, 25 year old Wes, Rick, and AO with Joseph off the bench and Torrence is a great option as the starting PG,

We are a good forward shy of being a good team. Dasher was spot on.

we are 65th in 3p% and 336th in 3pa
we are 162nd in 2p% and 26th in 2pa

we are ok at threes, bad at twos, and try to shoot way more twos. oooook

This is probably because we have a point guard takes 11 two point shots per game...

Look at these schools with guards who take that many 2 point shots per game with under 4.5 assists per game

The meltdowns are bad but this is not a good or efficient way to play basketball. Given our lineup, i'd rather have mintz shooting 2s than girard but what i'd really like to see is more shots by everyone else. That requires a point guard, not a combo guard, or a 5'11 small forward

I looked at the ACC stats this morning. SU has taken 300 fewer 3-point shots than its opponents. NCSt continued the trend last night by launching 34.

It's crazy to shoot so few when you have marksmen like Edwards and mintz

can you imagine JBS head exploding if we took the 3s ncst took and missed by so much. And really 2 airballs on the same possession and still scoring is just crazy. Can we send them to Red Ball camp with Bill Russell. It shouldnt be this hard. They took 34 3s and got 16 rebounds.. How many were on the 3s alone. You take away 6-7 of those and we win by 10+. Even 16 seems low since they had like 4-5-6 in the first few minutes.

Bumping this thread. I know everyone is antsy about our defense but the offense only took 6 midrange shots the other night. We also got to the line a lot. Need to work on finishing and I'm hopeful that more threes will go down but this is good shot selection.

TBF, they were playing the zone to give us those wide open shots. Up to us to make them or stop forcing them

Thanks. They will probably take better shots this year (hard not to) but I worry that we don't have enough shooters. I hope everything works out for mintz but I'm happy to move on

Nice thread necromancy.

I didn't notice the first post was from two years ago. I was like "Millhouse is still complaining about Girard's shot selection?" for a moment until I figured it out.

I'm enthused at the lack of midrange shots. Carlos shot way too many at Hofstra. Sometimes you have to take bad shots, but Hofstra seemed to run designed plays to get Carlos 15 foot fade away jumpers.

Not the way to score points efficiently.

On the other hand, Carlos will need to be able to hit threes efficiently enough to keep guys up on him, or he'll quickly be useless to the offense.

He's no Rajon Rondo.

Way too many two-point shots outside the paint on Tuesday. We did alright on them but not enough to make them valuable. Too many missed bunnies as well.

Mintz Jr , Choppa, I don't know his name yet... He really likes 2.9 point shots
