So I know there is a lot of discussion about the 3 Point Shooting ability of this team so I thought I would start a topic around putting a guess on what we think each player may shoot against the Power 5 opponents this year and as team against those opponents. So here are the opponents I want to measure against:
Duke, Clemson, Gonzaga, Louisville, Ohio State and All SEC Conference Games.
My preseason predictions below in those games:
Team Average - 35.1%
Robinson - 35.5%
Brea - 40.6%
Almonor - 38.2%
Butler - 30.6%
Carr - 33.6%
Chandler - 34.4%
Garrison - 20.3%
Oweh - 33.7%
Kriisa - 35.6%
Noah - 38.6%
Perry - 38.8%
I will try and keep it up to date all year. It will give me something fun to do during the season.

Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.

This is pretty cool, Trey. I look forward to seeing where your predictions end up. Just curious - you have Robinson lower than every other guard except one. He went 13-21 in the two exhibition games. Do you think that was a fluke? His form looks pretty solid, and several of his makes were well beyond the 3-point line. I think he's the real deal.

I think this team has the potential to shoot at or slightly more than 40% fromm the arc as a team. Their offense is really good at getting an easy catch-and-shoot opportunity. Yes, top-tier defenses will be quicker to cover, but wow. I like the way the ball moves so far.
EXCEPT, I see a lot of skip passes diagonally across the court. Those won't work against good defenses... turnover almost every time. I hope Pope understands that.

PC,
Pure volume thing for me. I think he is by far UK’s best player and he is going to draw the best defensive player from opposing teams night and night out and coaches are going to focus on stopping him forcing him to take some difficult shots plus I think he will probably have two or three shots a game at end of shot clock situations and have to force up more contested shots.
