Dasonte Bowen

Fine, fine. 40% is the mark. Jordan is around there for his career as was Jon Diebler.
You can tell he's working on a quicker trigger, adjusting to B1G defense. When that happens, I agree with you, I think he's going to be really, really good. He's already doing some very athletic stuff for a freshman. I'm going to be surprised if he doesn't develop into a very solid, integral player.

Of Joe t, Ahron Ulis, and Tony Perkins, only Ulis is a decent 3 point shooter and he is a bit better than PMac according to the stats. Perkins is a great defender but a horrible shooter.
I am a big fan of Ulis, but to be fair, he has taken so few 3 pointers, its hard to deduce much of his 3 point game.
He has struggled with field goal shooting in general, largely driven by many missed "bunnies," which is quite frustrating. He just needs to continue to build confidence, make more of the easy ones and he should be fine. I dont think he will ever be a lights out shooter but he has a nice all around game otherwise.

Perkins is a head scratcher, he had some long range momentum early in the year and the wheels just fell off. Lost his MOJO. He is a great athlete, plays excellent defense and can get to the rim, but needs to get some confidence back.

Joe T has the best mid range game of the 3, but is very shaky from 3. He is a great FT shooter and needs to keep taking it to the rack. I am fine with him launching 1-2 3's per game.

I wouldn't say Tony is a horrible shooter. He has a decent looking shot (although playing alongside Patrick, who doesn't!?). He is starting to come on lately.

Perkins has been shooting better the last half of the season. Which is possibly why he is starting now... He has been close to 50% from the field. And for the season he has shot 90% from the charity line.
I will take that.

Most of his makes are lay-ups or dunks. Having said that, both Perkins and Conner both shot lights out last night. Those 2 I considered the worst shooters. They did that just to make me look like a dunce. :p
 
I believe Dasonte Bowen will be Fran's best guard recruit of his era. Book it. If Toussaint decides to transfer he will start right away.

That would arguably make him the best 3 point shooter all time. Steph Curry never had a SEASON over 45%. I know there is not a player in the top 25 in 3 pointers made that shot 45% for their career and I would predict that none in the top 100 has shot 45% for their career. 40% is phenomenal for a volume 3 point shooter like PS will be.
43.5% is tops on the list. Kent McCausland was at 45.3% but only had 4.2 attempts a game. Topped out at 52.2% for a year.

All good! Most of the team seams to be picking up their game lately. Great timing! 😍

Just spitballing here but do you think there is any chance his poor shooting stretch had anything to do with his shoulder injury?
 
Ahron needs to get stronger. He gets bounced around inside. Needs to muscle up some of those layups, get some confidence. He rarely shoots a three ball but his make number is not bad 4/11, .336. If he feels stronger those 3pters will feel smoother leaving his hand. His shooting form is pretty good. Ahron's going to have plenty of opportunities next season. Let's hope he gets the shooting part down. If so, Iowa will have a good guard trio with Joe, Tony and Ahron.

Payton looks like he's going to be a volume shooter so .360 to .380 would be fantastic. Let's see if he tries the 3 point fake and dribble into a shorter jumper. I think that is something he's trying to add to his game.
I was surprised that Sandfort didn't see the floor last night... He hurt?
