Robinson is 13 of 21 from 3 in the two ex games

62% (math major)

Other guys have struggled though. I think we are something like 34-79, so 43% as a team. That means everyone else is 21-58, just 36% combined. 36% is acceptable, but I think we are all hoping for better than that.
But on the good note is Robinson's 62%, since last year he had one of the lower 3pt %'s (from the non-C's), I think only Butler was worse.
 
From one English major to another bro, learn to cross multiply. It’s a very simple equation and it comes in handier than all other equations put together.

(Well, except for 1 cross + 3 nails = forgiven but you know that one)

Code:
13            X
---     =    ---
21           100

21x = 1300



X = 1300 ÷ 21



X = 61.9



Robinson shot 61.9% from three over two exhibition games.

Especially early in a season where most are trying to figure out what is an acceptable shot, you see some ups and downs. I am still very hopeful most on this team gravitate to 40% -45% ish. But you still have someone like Garrrison, who has obviously been told to shoot 3’s who will bring that average down. I don’t think you will see Williams take any.

I think I understand your point, but I have a question...

You expressed concern b/c the team shooting % is not as high as you hoped, but at the same time, Robinson is way off his expected average as well (b/c he is WAY above the expectation).

So, is your concern that you are worried that Robinson isn't going to stay on fire, and then the team will be somewhat struggling from 3?

B/c I would argue that is not as concerning b/c if we expect Robinson to return closer to his historical average of <40%, we should also expect the other guys to return to their norms as well, which means the team will be about 40%.

In the first exhibition game, outside of Jaxson Robinson, the team shot 16/33 (48%) from 3pt range. So, I don't think there is evidence SO FAR to say there is a struggle.
 
By the end of BYU season he was lethal.
He can lock in and keep hitting them on.... anybody. I don't think you can stop him from shooting.
Alot like Jamal Murray. We have seen Robinson's type here before.
Murray hit a three in every game he played. All of them. Every game. As a freshman. He owns the record.
THE BLUE ARROW.
Probably need Robinson hitting at least one 3 every game. At minimum.
3 a game average would be toasty and we're probably pretty damn good offensively all year.

I think this team will feed off of Jaxson Robinson hitting shots. His go in... they all go in.
The Icebreaker.
He is the straw stirring the drink.

Robinson is due for a cooling off period. The nice thing is, all those other guys who shot it poorly in the first 2 games are due for an upward correction as well.

I will take 43% all year. I don’t care how it shakes out. With as many as we take that will be phenomenal as a team. That would probably lead the nation.

43% as a team would definitely be in the top in the all time % if im not mistaken the record is 40.9 so definitely no need to complain about 43.

Last season, only the top 2 teams in the nation were above 40% (UK 40.9% and Purdue 40.4%). In the last 15 seasons, there have been an average of about 5 teams at or above 40%. Only 3 seasons have had more than 10 teams at above 40%. A couple of other seasons had about 8 teams, and many years had 4 or less.

For some reason, the 2015/2016, 2016/2017 & 2017/2018 seasons had a ton of good shooting teams with 10, 15, and 19 teams respectively over 40% those seasons.

Combined, those 15 seasons had a total of SIX teams shoot at or above 43%. Even in the years with over 10 teams above 40%, only 2 teams total hit the 43%.

So, 43% would probably be acceptable ;)

I would say now that the games matter you will see % in the high 30s or 40s range. Sure games will be lower but you will have guys (like Pope said, get shots within the offense) and not 3 chucking. Will be interesting to see what it all looks like.

I am happy with defense so far, that was my bigger question in preseason. Wondering if we would be serviceable on the d. I knew Butler, Williams and Oweh would be good, but heck even Perry and Noah have not given much on defense. They are not stalwarts on d but this team will be a very good defensive team. Not too worried about Pope's offense. Run correctly it will get its shots.

Great information, and I figured that would be true. It’s really hard to shoot over 40% as a team.

FANTASTIC information and research !! If there is no extra work required, other than a little sorting, does your database include the W-L records of the 40% and above teams, including how they fared in the NCAA tournament ??
To me, winning is the bottom line.

To be transparent, I don't have a database. I pulled those numbers in about 5 minutes looking at the stats on ESPN website.

That being said... quick glance at those same stats:

P5 teams in the top 25 of 3pt %
23-24: 8 teams; UK, Purdue, Colorado, Northwestern, Baylor, Duke, Bama, Utah
22-23: 3 teams; Mich St, Penn St, AZ
21-22: 5 teams; VA Tech, Purdue, Notre Dame, Mich St, Syracuse
20-21: 5 teams; Baylor, Iowa, Michigan, Oregon, FL St

All teams in the top 25 of 3pt%
Elite Eight teams:
23-24: Duke, Bama, Purdue
22-23: Gonzaga
21-22: None
20-21: Michigan, Baylor

Sweet Sixteen:
23-24: EE teams (Duke, Bama, Purdue),
22-23: Mich St, Gonzaga
21-22: None
20-21: EE teams (Michigan, Baylor), Oregon, FL St
 
That boy can shownuff shoot. I hope he can keep it up the remainder of the season.
