I bet you know Silva's game better than I do, but here's what I read from 247: "Can hit threes off catch and pull, has stepbacks and pull-ups from midrange and finishes with both hands at basket."

I remember reading that a few months back, that Silva could hit from that range pretty well. Hope my memory's right on that point.

Definitely a problem for this team. This might not see much improvement till Silva and Moss get onboard. Both can catch and shoot from beyond the arc. For now, here's hoping Jones keeps hitting them in the meantime.

Thanks, AlbanyCardinal, I didn't make my point clear re: 3-pt field goal percentage. Jones and Delaire, and maybe Williams, are the only ones shooting at a decent percentage. The top 3-pt shooting team by percentage is Baylor at 43.9%. That's as a team! 

Since there are 340 D1 teams the median 3-pt shooting percentage is the average of the 170th and 171st ranked teams. That would be Kent State and Arkansas, who both check in at 33.9%. So only Jones and Delaire shoot above average for a median 3-pt shooting team.

As you note, this will be an issue for a team that is able to shut down our inside game via zone or other means.

Moss can shoot the lights out. But, I wasn't aware that Silva had good three-point shot.

 

Silva is working very hard on his three point shot, but at the moment he is not a marksman from there. He's got a great mid range game though and finishes well in the paint. Ingram can actually shoot it pretty well, better than Silva right now. Moss is the shooter of the group though.
