His 28% three point shooting says he's not a stretch 4.

The hope is that he can develop into one.

He is the heir apparent to Joplin.   Except taller, faster, more rounded offensive game at the same stage of his career.

Congratulations, young man.

9 games >40% so he's a part time stretch 4.

On a team that wasn't very good at shooting, the only person to make at least a single 3 point attempt and shoot a lower 3 point percentage than Royce this year was Tre Norman.  No defense was being stretched because of Royce.

I've seen enough flashes to be hopeful, but he's got the same problem that 95% of all college players have, and that's consistency. If he improves his 3 point shooting percentage by over 11% on increased volume the way Jop did from his Fresh to Soph year, I'd have no problem labeling him a stretch 4, but the number just aren't there yet.

He was at 33% in Big East play.  Nothing to write home about but the form looks good.  If he improves shot selection as well as setting his feet and squaring up it wouldn't surprise me if he shot 36%+ from 3 this upcoming season.

It essentially is, just one year in advance. look who all is coaching there — he'll be poached a year from now.

So out of all college basketball players...what percent qualify as a stretch 4?

Better to be a stretch 4 than a condense 4

Tryout camp after next year.  But for Royce, he will find out how good he is going against the best players in the 25 and 26 year.

Yeah, Royce may not have stretched defenses this year, but you can tell he's going to be a solid to good shooter. And he's definitely going to get on some heaters that win us games.
