Sandy can be an excellent excellent 3 point shooter, but, tends to pass off or drive in more.  Perhaps, you're right that Wojo doesn't encourage long range shooting.

But didn't we shoot 25 threes against X?   That's a lot of 3 point attempts vs driving as a philosophy

That is because Xavier's interior defense was so good that even Haanif could not get to the basket. We shot a lot of threes, most of them after passing the ball meaninglessly back and fourth. Duane took several deep threes. He would not have to shoot so far out, if we ran picks like Notre Dame does for their three point shooters.

I think Rowsey will not shoot a lot of threes. Wojo wants his players to drive and there are no picks or plays to get players open for threes. I think Haanif is a very good three point shooter, but almost every time he gets the ball he drives to the hoop as he is instructed to do by Wojo. Rousey and Hauser in theory will improve our three point capability, but they will not be sitting outside waiting to shoot a lot of threes unless Wojo changes his approach to the game.

Is Paul Jesperson a fair comparison for Sam?

Jesperson not an awful comparison, but I'd hope he'd better than that. Will talk to HS coach that played Merrill in regional final his senior year and is hosting event with Hauser in about 10 days tonight; will ask if remember.

+1. Thanks

We need another big.  We have a ton of 2s who should play the 2. 

Rowsey I thought shot 37% from 3 or am I wrong?   That's not exactly lights-out shooting if true.    Not bad but not a true zone buster.

41% his first year. 38% his soph year. However he hit over a 100 threes each season. Hell have less attempts with us, so in theory his efficiency will go up.

I would add that he was the primary focus of the opposing team's defense both years.  So, he's used to the attention that being "the man" brings which should help him in moving up in competition.

I believe that Wojo has made the point that the % on three point shots goes up when the pass to the three point shooter comes from inside the paint.  Thus, he doesn't want to see 3 pointers getting jacked up before there has been some penetration.

its always best to go to the hole before jacking it

But only if you're married to the concept.

Paint touches?

Did remember to ask, but coach said he hasn't seen Hauser enough to make a decent comparison to Jesperson. Will ask coach next time I see him after he sees Hauser a week from Saturday (playing immediately after their game in their home gym).

[HoopsterBC]

The problem with Hauser is that he is skinny, frail, not quick, a little bigger than Cohen but much better shot.  How he shoots in college, still to be determined.

Appreciate it!
