Is is me or has SB fallen in love with the long-range three? I
saw a lot of Steph Curry range shots today.

actually, i thought this was an ongoing problem until this year.
now, we take less than 30 per game (sometimes low 20s), and we
hit sometimes 1/3.
and look at that- we are 16-3. with bigger wins than weve ever
notched.

I didn't mean volume, I meant range. A lot of the three's today
were taken from well beyond the arc.

Yeah, definitely a lot of NBA 3's.
Yeboah and Latimer definitely seem to have the green light on
3's from anywhere. Some of Latimer's yesterday were easily
27-28 feet out. Like CoB said, I don't mind them as much this
year, because they are winning. I'll take 30% from 3-land any
day of the week (hitting 33% from 3 is equivalent to hitting 50%
from 2). Last year, we had Sturdivant and Cornish taking
ridiculous moon-ball 3's; not the case this year, IMO.

Good point. Latimer is an excellent conventional college
distance 3-point shooter. That pull-up he hits just outside of
the arc is sweet. One of the best in the league. The problem
is when he launches from Steph Curry range. He seems like a
very smart player and I am sure somebody on the staff will show
him a shooting chart of hits and misses and he'll adjust.

The Steph Curry effect. It's been written about.

'Latimer is still kind of raw . By the time he is a junior he
will be devastating inside and outside. He can slash to the rim
and hit long 3s exactly just what we need at what 6'4 or 6'5 .
And our center is another rising rising star. Yesterday Jeff hit
6 rebounds, 11 points and 5 blocked shots and he is still
learning. This is a powerful team going places if Boals can
keep them playing.

That's the thing. Enjoy this season guys, because we may wind up
being too good for our own good. Yeboah could go pro overseas
next year. Boals could get poached for a better coaching gig,
and the graduate transfer factor is always an unknown variable.
We're in for a special 3-4 years here though if all these guys
plus Boals are able to stick around and stay healthy. That's not
a given though, especially since this is the AE.
