Shooting Infusion Could Lead to Modernization of Husky Offense

The post-up is dead.

That’s been the opinion of most of the basketball intelligentsia ever since the Golden State Warriors revolutionized the NBA behind the 3-point barrages from Steph Curry and Klay Thompson with Draymond Green as a small ball center. Villanova relatively cruised to an NCAA title in 2018 with 6 different players that shot over 36% on more than 100 3-pt attempts in a season. Virginia won in 2019 with 3 main perimeter threats that each shot at least 40% on triple digit attempts.

It’s incredibly difficult to win the numbers game in this day and age unless you are able to reliably knock down shots from the perimeter.
