We have Jackson Babb and the 2 guards coming in. But are we missing a really good shooter like Matt and Naz?
Shooters for next year?

Probz but we're going look a lot more like Texas a&m than Hoiball going forward so who knows if we really need any true snipers.
Jackson can shoot for sure. I wouldn't mind seeing a team weighted toward driving over outside shooting as a change of pace.
I think Lewis can shoot too.
Also don't be surprised if we grab a SF transfer that is a scorer.

I hear what you are saying as a change of pace but with driving you need the ability to make a team pay when they collapse the lane.
It's not like we have replace elite outside shooting. They're about the best we have (outside of Donovan) but neither one sets the world on fire.
Look at other teams though- many don't shoot as many threes but make a better percentage as the ones they take are lightly guarded. I think we'll have plenty of guys that can hit open threes on the kick out.
Agree. Nobody is lighting it up this year at all from 3, so I doubt we'll be much worse.
IMO Wigginton fits this bill, he almost plays downhill. I think some of the recent rule changes will help him out big time, I expect him to get to the FT line a ton next year. I like the potential of his driving/slashing opening things up for shooters like Jackson and Lewis.
This is what I'm hoping for too. Once ISU got the reputation as a 3 pt shooting team under Hoiberg we've been stuck with it and the players feel like the need to live up to the rep or something. I don't like that at all. Even Burton feels like he needs to launch 3's because hey.... we're a 3 point shooting team, right?
We are a 3-point shooting team, just not a 3-point making team.
He is a career 43% shooter from 3. This team is taking to many bad threes but if they are taken in rythym they aren't really bad. The problem is we don't run offense to get rythym 3's
