Senior guard Anthony Beane attempts a basket during SIU’s 75-73 victory against Northern Iowa on Jan. 2 at SIU Arena.
1. Mike Rodriguez should shoot more mid-range jump shots.
Junior guard Mike Rodriguez started off the year shooting pretty well. In his first three games as a Saluki, Rodriguez shot 52 percent from the field, but has shot 26 percent his last three.
The Salukis would be more efficient on offense if Rodriguez would take high percentage shots. On the season, Rodriguez is shooting 33 percent from the 3-point arch. Rodriguez taking shots from about 15 to 18 feet would benefit the team.
