How does the No. 1 team in KenPom get better? By making some outside shots.
50.3% of our shot attempts are threes. That's 6th-most in the nation. The problem is we're 245th in 3-point percentage (30.9%).
Practically everyone on our team is shooting the three worse this season.
Shooting worse
- Hart: 46%-->33%
- Booth: 49%-->32%
- Jenkins: 37%-->32%
Shooting better
- Arch: 37%-->39%
The newcomers are worse, too.
- Hilliard: 38%, Ennis: 36%
- Brunson: 29%, Bridges 24%, DiVincenzo 19%
- I don't know how well Brunson, Bridges and Donte will shoot this season.
- I also don't think Hart and Booth will match last season's percentages, since I don't think either can sustain that pace.
What does this mean?
This means that we have a chance to get even better. We take a ton of threes, a lot of them open, and we don't make that many of them. When they start to fall, we'll get even better.
This is also why Jenkins shooting well is so important. His main role on the team is to take threes to stretch the floor. He's taken the most threes on the team this season, and we all know he has a pretty stroke. We've seen Booth and Hart shoot over 40%, it would be nice if Kris could get there this season.
