A lot of talk has been made about the upcoming team only having 1 shooter. 1 shooter is not enough and we are doomed. I think this is a common misconception.
Regular Season 3pt% Totals (more than 1 attempt per game)
Uconn - 44, 40, 38, 36, 36, 30, 28, 18 - STARTERS - 40, 38, 36, 36, 30 - AVG STARTING LINEUP 3% - 36%

Baylor - 42, 41, 40, 37, 36, 33, 32, 0 - STARTERS - 41, 40, 33, 32, 0 - AVG STARTING LINEUP 3% - 29%

When looking at these numbers, a few things stand out.
1. 3/11 teams had 2 40% + shooters on the team
2. 8/11 teams had at least 1 40% shooter on the team
DJ, Reeves, Edwards, Bradshaw, Ugo (dont like this lineup with 2 bigs but its what we got right now.) I think we can get shooting splits of at least - 33, 40, 37, 30, 0 - AVG of 28%
Add a transfer in Kaluma who should shoot 30% + to the starting 4 and slide Bradshaw down and we are looking really nice.
Shooting off the bench in DILLINGHAM, REED, ADOU I dont think shooting will be the issue.
Spacing is the more important thing with this lineup. If Cal will allow this team to space the floor correctly and open up driving lanes we should have the shooters to hit open looks.
