Scary stat

Of the guys who are actually suiting up, Weathers has the 2nd best 3point shooting percentage. Maceo would be ahead of him if he came back.

Re: Scary stat

Every rime Marcus looks like he's going to hoist a 3 I yell NO!!! He does get some to drop but not really his shot. Can't believe how cold TDM has become from behind the arc. Needs to find that shot for us to really play our best offense, IMO.

Re: Scary stat

Kelly did get into the game last night. It was only for 3 minutes, but it was early in the game so he might be out of the doghouse. On a strictly percentage basis his 1 for 3 would be second, which is even scarier. I agree about Marcus shooting 3s. He is so effective when he's aggressive going to the hoop. He scores a whole lot, draws a ton of fouls, and when he doesn't do either it usually still opens up the floor and he's able to find someone with an open look. Hughes is even worse with the 3s. He makes less and he's more of an inside player. He's probably our best screener, but he should virtually never pop out off the screen. He's also our best rebounder, he's by far the best post up guy, and he's even more effective than Weathers passing out of the post.

As bad as the deep shooting from the starters has been, the bench has been even worse. There have been 17 guys who have gotten on the court this season for the Dukes. By my count nine of them have started at least once. The other 8 are a combined 13 for 59 from 3 point range or 22%.

Re: Scary stat

Lucky I agree about Kelly and hope you are right.  He is a guy with size and ability - he just needs more experience/playing time.

Re: Scary stat

Agree about Kelly also. Think he has a high ceiling and just needs to put in the work.
Doesn't hurt us very often when he's on the court.

I forgot about Kelly even though I was glad when he got into the game.
