Huskies' 3-Point Woes: Sprinkle Demands Better Shots
30 Oct
Summary
- Coach Sprinkle expressed dissatisfaction with the team's recent three-point shooting.
- The team needs to focus on taking open, catch-and-shoot opportunities.
- New recruits and returners are expected to improve long-range accuracy this season.
Washington Huskies head coach Danny Sprinkle has voiced concerns regarding his team's three-point shooting performance, particularly following two exhibition losses. Despite adding several players noted for their long-range capabilities, the team's overall accuracy from beyond the arc has not met expectations.
Sprinkle stressed the importance of shot selection, differentiating between effective, open shots and contested or rushed attempts. He noted that while the team can shoot effectively with proper preparation, many attempts stem from poor decision-making. The coach aims to foster a more unselfish approach, encouraging ball and body movement to create open looks.
Moving forward, Sprinkle expects his team to prioritize finding shooters like Parker Friedrichsen, Steele Venters, Harun Zrno, and Wesley Yates III. He emphasized the need for timely and accurate passes to these players, as defenses are quick to close out on known threats. This focus on improved distribution and shot selection is crucial for the Huskies to elevate their three-point game in the upcoming season.
