Kriisa's will go up.
Robinson, Almonor, & Chandler will stay about where they are.
Brea, Oweh and Butler will go down.

I expect Brea to finish 50-55%.
Carr, Almonor, Oweh to finish 43-37%.
Butler, Robinson, Chandler and Kriisa to finish 37-33%

so far the big surprises are

Brea shooting out of his head

Butler and Oweh shooting way better than they ever have, hope that keeps up.

Some of the shooting is the cupcakes we've been beating.
only played one team of consequence.
Let's check out the shooting percentages after the month of December.
Should be a little more accurate.
I will say if you're struggling with your three now.... you're probably going to definitely be struggling with your three later as the season progresses.
At least through mid February.
Some guys figure it out towards the end of the SEC like Edwards did last year. He shot 47% from three February and on in the SEC but couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in the non-conference..

So you never know

I would say some of those numbers are not going to stay as high. Kriisa will improve as the season goes.
But one thing I would add... since the goal Pope is after is to get a good look at a 3pt shot every time down the floor, I would think that having that as a goal, and always having a green light on that shot, would increase the confidence of players taking and making that shot. We've seen our offenses at times have the opposite effect. If your primary goal is to drive and get into the lane for 2-point shots, and only particular players are "supposed" to take threes, you don't shoot the 3 with the same confidence.

So, I'm thinking some of what we're seeing here is a mental thing. They want to take the 3, they want to get an assist for their teammates, they think they can make it, they shoot it with confidence and make it.

If we end up w/ 5 guys shooting 40% or better from downtown, that FF drought will be ancient history.
