I think most just accept what the strategy is and are trying to be optimistic about it.

Are you familiar with the shooting numbers at the top 100 camp last summer?
Traudt was the leading shooter among all 100 from 3.

Traudt won a shooting contest at the camp. He actually didnāt do much in the games at that same camp. Like I said Iāll go with their overall AAU and high school careers which show McKneely is an elite shooter and Traudt is a nice shooter for a 6ā10 guy.
Now Traudtās shot looks really good so there is all the reason in the world to believe he can become an elite shooter. But heās not one yet and I believe McKneely already is.

Yeah Mckneely already has that thing where it looks like heās shooting a layup from 3 sometimes. Not sure how to describe it other than itās not āshooting at the rimā itās āputting it IN the netā
Maybe Iām just seeing something where thereās nothing idk lol
Edit: itās like when you can tell a pitcher is āaimingā the ball in baseball instead of just slinging it knowing heās gonna hit his spot

I was replying to the question of who is the better wide open shooter and I also stated that the other Isaac is a better contested shooter. That being said in high school Traudt only faced double and triple teams all game long every single game. McKneely did not as he had a much better team to play with.
And itās really just picking nitsā¦ I think both can be 40% plus 3 point shooters
I also think Murray can be too as he already proved that last year ā¦ in games where he got double figure minutes he shot 44% from three land.

I know Iām just pointing out it was a one day sample size lol I also think Traudt can become a 40%+ 3 point shooter. He has the form for it. I just will be pleasantly shocked if he does it as a 1st year.

Fresh - I love you but this is a fantasy. No disrespect. Hope Iām wrong but he will shoot the same seasonal % next year because he will be a focal point and not an offensive afterthought which is what he was the last two years. Thatās a big difference. Heās a good player. If he can shoot he becomes great. Letās hope he shoots above his percentage last year.
That said I hope Iām dead wrong. I think Arman, Isaac and Taine will shoot it well. Look for Arman to be really good this year.

Great find. My favorite Shed play was the elbow jumper he hit against JMU. It was a no hesitation j that swished and as simple as it was reminded me that he actually has good shooting touch and needs to add that to his arsenal more. That adds just a little bit more spacing too

I believe as a team our 3pt shooting should take a big jump. I believe Traudt may be the best catch and shoot but im looking forward to McKneely shooting the contested 3. We havenāt had anyone since Kyle that can do that. Im going to my dreamland watching #Isaacsquared shoot 3ās. @JoeBoxley when do the #Isaacsquared shirts hit the shelves and who gets the money?

lol
I think counting on consistent production from any of the 1st years is a mistake but Iām still blindly optimistic about McKneely being a key contributor this season

You know when Pastner says āas long as he doesnāt fall of a cliffā he means someone actually falling off a cliff in a national park or something.
