Why doesn’t John Calipari recruit more shooters? Here’s why. | Lexington Herald Leader

It’s no secret: this Kentucky basketball team isn’t very good from behind the three-point line.

These Cats rank last in the Southeastern Conference in three-point makes this season and have attempted almost 100 fewer threes than the league’s 13th team in that category, Georgia.

After Saturday’s win over Alabama — a game in which the Cats made four of 11 from behind the arc — only seven Division I teams in the country had made fewer threes this season than Kentucky.

Which brings us to a question many fans have been asking all season: why doesn’t John Calipari recruit more shooters to play for the Wildcats?
