I really like our team for next season already...

[kyups01]

But where is our three point shooting going to come from?

 

[CELTICAT]

Beyond the arc, I imagine

 

[UK90]

Threes are indeed a concern next year. Mulder hit a very impressive 46 percent of his 3s this year, so sounds like that guy can provide em. And Ulis is also quite solid beyond the arc.

 

[jgraf_1]

Ulis is decent and you hope with a potential of Mulder and Murray, that you can get consistent shooting with the occasional splash from Ulis or Briscoe.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Ulis is more than "decent" from three. He shot almost 43% from three last year, canning 33/77 attempts. If that is decent give me more of that decent play this coming season.

 

[23jumpboy]

Having Poythress back will be a god send. Versatile, tough, leader, crazy hops, can be a good catch and shoot guy, slasher, in your face defender. Double double guy with Lee. I think his game compliments Lee and Willis. Good intangibles

 

[Gunner146]

They're going to have to press full court to get easy baskets since they will struggle to score in the half court.

 

[Gunner146]

UK's offense next season will be rebounds and turnovers, kinda like the early 90s UC and late 80s UCONN teams.

 

[23jumpboy]

With seven or eight players available pressing may not be the best idea. But slick Rick won games pressing with less talent so it can be done.

 

[Uk1111]

Not totally suprised, since I knew he had a good stroke, but 43% is really good! Better than I would've guessed.

 

[Uk1111]

Not totally suprised, since I knew he had a good stroke, but 43% for Ullis is really good! Better than I would've guessed.

 

[stuway]

Ulis, Briscoe, Mulder and hopefully Murray. Poy can make that shot as well. I really think our team next yrvis shaping up to be well balanced and potentially very dangerous.

 

[toonces11]

Uk has nothing to worry about---you will still have more 5 stars than any other team. With that kind of talent they should easily be top 5 imo.

 

[kyups01]

If we were to land Murray we'll be good to go.

 

[UKSlim]

I just don't want Calipari using the term..."I like my team"...next season... He used it repeatedly in 2013.

 

[jameslee32]

Beyond the arc, I imagine

 

[KyFaninNC]

I just don't want Calipari using the term..."I like my team"...next season... He used it repeatedly in 2013.

Well, I doubt he will say he hates his team.

 

[Stonewall12]

There is no other PG in the SEC that I would rather have shooting 3's other than Tyler Ullis.

 

[Orange Soda King]

I just don't want Calipari using the term..."I like my team"...next season... He used it repeatedly in 2013.

To be fair, that was before Nerlens' injury. If Nerlens isn't injured, UK doesn't miss tourney.

Starters
G Ulis- 40-45%
G Briscoe- 30-35%
G Matthews- 35-40%(shot around 40% this past season)
F Poythress- 30-35%
F Labissiere- Cal's 5 man never shoots many 3's (not even AD)

Key Reserves
F Lee- won't shoot the 3
G Mulder- 35-40%(if we get him, which looks likely)

Should be a fairly effective shooting the ball. Penetrating guards should force defenses to sag and open things up for shooters.
