Nearly two-thirds (65.3 percent) of Miller Kopp’s shots have come from 3-point range this season, many off catch-and-shoot opportunities. But against the Redhawks on Sunday night, Kopp flashed some counteraction to his perimeter shooting prowess, using both a ball and shot fake to drive and score in the paint. And in one halfcourt possession, Kopp moved cross-court to free himself for a 3-pointer.
We’ve seen some of this before. Last season against Syracuse, his career-high 28-point performance was marked by some fakes and drives. But as the season wore on, Kopp didn’t pull it out of his bag as much.
