They all seem to be hesitating more and more now when open from 3, allowing defenses to pack the lane area.

I....can't argue with a single point.

Saving grace is the MAC sucks. We'll likely still finish above 500 in the conference almost by default.

I don't really see Elmore as much of a shooter, I would classify him as more of a slasher. Its quite possible that he is regressing back down to the mean this year, we've only seen one year of stats.

Hunter is an interesting case. He has an ugly shot but seems to find the net. I would guess that his % only goes up from here, the question is how much? We will definitely need him to get close to last year if we're going to see success in the MAC. I think shot selection will be the key to that answer and the selection hasn't been great to date.

Gavin Block was pulling arrows out of his quiver......

Miles Brown shot almost 45% from 3 last year. That's very good.

Could the lower percentage of success be a result of many more shots being taken?

Reading a study that says that if a team only shot threes the make rate would fall from typical 33% make rate to below 25% because the three is easier to guard when it is shot in greater numbers by teams. Easier because the shots made are usually catch and shoot or the wide open look and not self-created Steph Curry style by most mortals. More hands in faces when the defense doesn't have to help as much inside.

Are the Bobcats shooting 3's at the same rate, than last season? Perhaps get the ball to Clayton inside the arc and see if he can hit the 2 pointer at greater than 50% clip. This works the defense, may result in more fouls committed and may result in more stick backs from teammates.

Agree with your points on Hunter. Shot selection needs to improve there, he has too much experience as a PG to struggle with shot selection. Getting Miles Brown back will certainly help and take some pressure off our current guard rotation.
