Every season a small contingent of shooters emerge with the oddest of statistical profiles. Actually they don’t quite emerge; they insinuate themselves into an unusual role. This year the ACC returns all but one member of this curious cadre from 2021-22, all with higher 3-point than 2-point accuracy.
Now, it could be these players are averse to operating in the more physical environs near the basket, where layups and short jumpers are available. Or they may lack the discernment necessary to maneuver for better shots when they have an eye on the rim from long distance. Or they might just be unusually adept jump-shooters or uncomfortable ballhandlers, preferring to catch and shoot.
