Says Griffin has taken the biggest steps this offseason. In fact he said he has taken huge steps.Said he has improved rebounding and making shots, especially 3s.
Says he would like Jacobson to be able to shoot around 35% from 3 and Griffin 35-38%.
Conditt is the x-factor for this team. Need him to be a dominant factor on defense and said he has got to take a big step this year.
Nixon has been dealing with a concussion and a groin injury. Has missed about half the practices so far.
Says the schedule is probably the most difficult he has had at ISU.

I got ripped a couple years ago for saying 35% from 3P is kind of the Mendoza line for guys being able to suit a need at the 4. Weird.

That is kind of the line where a defense respects you from outside period --

No matter the position. If you are under that, they let you shoot it.

It makes sense, too. Something like 1.0 or 1.1 points per possession is pretty typical.

3 * 35% = 1.05 ppp

If below 35%, an offense is probably hurting its efficiency by taking those shots.

If above, then you are likely helping it. Defenses react accordingly.

Well that's likely but I'm not going to apologize since I'm on the same page as the guy getting paid millions to determine such things.

And? Big leap from Prohm’s comment to this.

Two of our better offensive years had 4’s shoot around 30% in conference play, 2013-14 and last year. 2011-12 was even worse.

Better than 35% is, better, but not a Mendoza line.

keep your expectations low is my thoughts reading between the tea leaves the last few weeks
defense and rebounding will be improved
ability to score, going to be rough unless we can get points in the paint
