Kasey Hill and John Egbunu represented the Florida basketball team at the Southeastern Conference’s annual Media Day on Wednesday. Here are three takeaways from their appearance:
1. Florida’s shooting will improve
Last season, Florida was one of the worst shooting teams in the Southeastern Conference, ranking near the bottom in nearly every offensive category.
During SEC play, the Gators shot 42.0 percent from the field, 32.6 percent from beyond the arc and 64.3 percent from the free-throw line, ranking them ninth, 13th and 12th in the conference, respectively.
At the heart of Florida’s free-throw shooting woes are the struggles of senior guard Kasey Hill and redshirt junior center John Egbunu, who connected on only 53.
