This Year We Have Shooters
I know it is just an exhibition but ... one thing I noticed.
Lowrey can STROKE IT.
Fabreezus can hit them deep and will play more than we think.
Mickey can make them.
Marcus can make them.
S. Thomas can make them.
Wright will shoot them ...
We are going to run on defensive rebounds and spread the floor on our offensive sets like we haven't seen in 6 or 7 years. I am excited for this years' team ... they can shoot it.
Plus ... WE FINALLY HAVE A PG WHO CAN SHOOT!

Short term memory loss? Brob? One of the best shooting PGs in the country was on our team lastyear

I'm Sorry, I don't consider B a PG ... he was forced because of our ineptness.
And I am saying, we have more than just 1.5 people (Binnie = .5)
It looks like we have 5 to 6 who will shoot and can make it. Including the most important ... a PG. Just think if we had the Lowery/London combo last year, slide BRob to the 2 and when Lowrey is in ... you can't double Roberts because he can actually shoot.
Just saying ... many more options this year. We can run for 35 minutes split London and Low and on every defensive rebound. And when we have to set up we can spread the floor, not to mention when Breezy is in he brings a PF to the perimeter.
I am going on record: 30 out of 31 games we will out-rebound our opponents.

I think the addition of Lowery is huge. We needed a pg who can nail open shots this year, and we got it. He is going to allow us to put a potent offensive unit in there when we need it.

I gotcha, and I completely agree that we can dish it out to almost everyone to hit a 3. Even Wright was looking to hit from back there. the 3pt depth is definitely a huge plus this year

The addition of Low did far more than bring a new point guard. More importantly, it appears, he has pushed LW into being a better player.
Without Low, would London have worked so hard on his free throws and jumpers this summer?
Probably not.
Competition is good.

It looks like our point guard duties are in good manageable hands. Some relief there.
However, show me a guy that doesn't look good going 3 for 3 from long range in a game. I love all three pg's, but there are going to be some 1 for 6 nights also. If he can shoot 40% from 3 pt we should be happy.
There were several other 3 pt shots on our team that were half way down and came out also. We definitely have shooters.
