I calculated the statistics through 5 exhibitions for the 9 guys in contention for the rotation: The 5 freshmen, Jack, Javin, Alex, and Marques.
Duke is shooting 65% on 2s. Zion Williamson is shooting 74% on them, which is absurdity. For reference to last year and similar competition, Bagley shot 68% against Utah Valley and Elon, while Carter shot 63% in those two games.
The 3 point shooting is not great at 35%, but the elite 2 point shooting would give this team the highest FG% in the NCAA last year, and it really wouldn't be close. We are at 54.5% and number 1 Saint Mary's shot 51.5%. Duke shot 49.2% last year, 15th in America.
Also, you've got to remember Reddish, O'Connell, and Jones have missed 3 of the first 5 exhibition contests, and that Tre Jones is an infinitely better point guard than Trevon Duval in every aspect.
The offense will be a juggernaut, capable of winning a lot of games and hanging a banner.
It will take a tremendous coaching job to accomplish our goals due to the defensive issues likely to arise with freshmen, but I'm a believer if Coach is.
