In April following Markus Howard ‘s freshman year at Marquette, I published this (somewhat long) breakdown of how it would be okay if he shot a lower percentage from behind the three-point line as a sophomore. It was essentially a exercise in mental preparation, because it was absolutely ridiculous to expect Howard to drop in 55% of his long range shots for a second straight season. It was doubly ridiculous to expect him to shoot as well if he shot it more than the 4.8 attempts that we saw in 2016-17.
As expected, Howard did not shoot over 50% as a sophomore, but he did shoot over 40%, which is more than okay, especially with 8.
