2 point jumpers just aren't good shots. our offense has us taking a lot of them.


to be great you have to be great on both sides. we are amazing on defense, offense does have to come around.

Interesting stuff. It seems to me, though, that the NBA has evolved much more on offense than college has (the reverse of football, where college is innovating and the pros piggyback it). You say that our offense takes a lot of 2 point jumpers, and that rings true based on my own observations. Do you know what percentage of UC's shots are 2 pointers not at the rim and how they compare to others and particularly to other good offenses?

we are 334 out of 353 in % of shots that are 2 point jumpers at 34.4%. we are 343 out of 353 in % of shots that are 3 pointers at 27.6%.


Just a quick glance I see North Carolina (321), Kentucky (310), and Tennessee (297) in % of 2 point shots being jumpers
