How Jaime Echenique added a three-point shot and why it matters so much for WSU

Jaime Echenique sets a screen, pops to the three-point line to receive the swing pass and swishes the shot, runs back down the court with his three goggles on to celebrate.

This is the Wichita State version of Echenique, the 6-foot-11 junior center from Barranquilla, Colombia averaging 8.3 points and 6.3 rebounds who has also made four three-pointers (on 50-percent accuracy) in his last four games for the Shockers.

But before Echenique arrived in Wichita, the scene above would have qualified as bizarre. In his two seasons with Trinity Valley Community College, Echenique took a total of two three-pointers in 64 games.
