[QUOTE="dbeverly26, post: 1856989, member: 515868"] The problem is that they're taking bad threes. There are a good number of folks on here who have assumed we'd get the same result regardless of the quality of threes we're taking, and that we'd get the same result on our twos even if we forced the issue and took more bad shots from inside the arc. You can't ignore that Shannon hit 38% of his threes last year and just say he's a bad shooter, because he isn't. The difference is that he's taking a ton of threes off the dribble and under duress, and he needs to cut that out. But he's not a bad shooter, and this team is not a bad shooting team. They're just not great at creating good shots a lot of the time because they're freelancing way too much. Run the offense and it will get you better threes, and open up driving lanes as well. Until they do that, they're going to keep looking bad on half of their possessions. [/QUOTE]
