Throw in Bolton, Jackson, and Foster. We’ll have much better spacing this year and hopefully some better looks.
Clank city might be a little harsh. Not snipers but good enough to make the defense respect em. Maybe a better offense will result in better looks and a jump in percentage.
It probably is, but advertising three guys who are collectively a career ~34% from three as "Splash City" is probably the less realistic option of the two.
We shot 31.6% from three last year, in comparison, and we lost Tyrese, who was our best shooter. I buy that Bolton and Jackson can be ~40% guys (they were in the Big 12 last year) and Foster comes in with the Stretch 4 marketing, but we have not seen it against this level of basketball. It would be really nice, though.
Our "peak" shooting year (and I know this is not apples-to-apples with the three-point line moving around occasionally) was 2017 when we had these guys...
45.4% = D-Jackson
44.5% = Thomas
38.4% = Mitrou-Long
37.8% = Morris
37.5% = Burton
All
five of those guys were better shooter than the three we just mentioned. That was Splash City. And even at that rate, they were #12 nationally.
