this made 3-pointer, but his shot can
drastically be improved.
Briante Weber, VCU, 22.5 3PT%
Weber had the highest steal average in all of college basketball, and he even had a double digit steals game last year. He is a good finisher inside, but he simply can't shoot very well. He will be a junior this year, and he should try to aim for at least 33% from 3-point land this year
Marcus Smart, Oklahoma State, 29 3PT%
Marcus Smart was the second best point guard in all of college basketball last year, behind Trey Burke. But if Smart had a better 3-point percentage, he would have been the best point guard and probably the number one pick in the NBA Draft. But Smart didn't declare for the draft because of his shot. If he shoots better this year, he could challenge Andrew Wiggens for the number one pick.
Keith Appling, Michigan State, 32 3PT%
32% isn't bad for a 3-point percentage, but Appling shot 41.1% as a freshman and has not gotten back to that. Now he is a senior, and he is facing something similar to what Peyton Siva faced last. Like Appling, Siva shot well as freshman but never matched his freshman number again. Siva got drafted, but not as high as he should have been because he had a label that said he couldn't shoot. Appling is no Siva, but he will want a better shot so he can get drafted.
Kevin "Yogi" Ferrell, Indiana, 30.3 3PT%
Ferrell is one of the only main contributors left from the number 1 seed Indiana squad from last year. Yogi needs to become a better three point shooter to become a main threat in the Big 10. He is only 6 feet tall, and he does not get to the rim well enough for people to ignore his lackluster shooting.
