What's this?

Those five players

Were Radford (29%), Diarra (13%), Bede (25%), Bamisile (25%) and N'Guessan (0% - 0/2). Mutts shot 33%. But I think that's a really interesting point. Mutts was already pretty decent. Hopefully he and N'Guessan have both improved as shooters this offseason after spending so much time in the gym.

Would be huge to essentially have, out of the 11 scholarship players, two guys (Ojiako and Haynes) that aren't great shooters but nine (Cattoor, Alleyne, N'Guessan, Maddox, Aluma, Mutts, Murphy, Pedulla and Kidd) that are. Would make VT a lot more difficult to defend.

Young was asked yesterday about if this is his best shooting team as a head coach. His answer was, "Collectively, maybe. ... I have a lot of things bouncing through my head on how to use that [all five players being able to shoot]. ... That will certainly be a strong suit of this team."

Interesting to look at it from the perspective of almost every player on the team is at least a decent shooter, while the starting five is five solid shooters.

Question: At what % shooting should a player not be taking a three? -- 133921Hokie 10/05/2021 4:42PM

If they can't hit at least 50% in practice ** -- 1980VT 10/06/2021 2:22PM

When your 3% is less than 3/4 of your 2% basically -- Vienna_Hokie 10/05/2021 7:03PM

There isnt a specific percentage... -- GCHokie34 10/05/2021 4:45PM

And the best part of having a lot of shooters is that we don’t have to live -- VT One 10/05/2021 3:21PM

I would add Maddox as an excellent shooter with alot more PT this year ** -- vtbball80 10/05/2021 3:04PM

I wasnt excluding him... -- GCHokie34 10/05/2021 3:50PM

No problem, my point was only that.... -- vtbball80 10/05/2021 4:05PM

For sure, better shooters taking more shots is key ** -- GCHokie34 10/05/2021 4:09PM

NGuessan only took two 3s. You can make stats say anything you want. haha -- chagerma 10/05/2021 3:03PM

N'Guessan took 31 FTs... -- GCHokie34 10/05/2021 3:45PM

What about Mattox? ** -- 13HOKIE 10/05/2021 2:44PM

Maddox is a great shooter... -- GCHokie34 10/05/2021 2:51PM

I think the addition of Storm is really going to boost the offense. -- Hokiekid1 10/05/2021 2:21PM
