Overanalyzing eight uncontested jump shots is some classic pandemic offseason fodder, so let’s do it.
A video came out Thursday of Oklahoma State guard Isaac Likekele hitting eight long-range 3-point shots. Cade Cunningham’s trainer, Ashton Bennings, posted the video that showed Cunningham and fellow OSU signee Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe driving the lane and kicking to Likekele, who would shoot uncontested jumpers on the receiving end.
Likekele was 8-for-8 in the video with only one cut where he repositioned from the corner to the wing.
This is a big deal because in his college career thus far, Likekele is just 9-for-39 (23%) from 3-point range, and he was just 3-for-14 (21%) from deep this past season.
