Cliff and the 3

[littlenis5]

If I know anything from being on these boards the past 15+ years is that 95% of the people here have no idea how to project talent to the nba/nba draft

I think by the end of ‘23-‘24 Cliff will have rounded out his game to where he will be considered a serious NBA prospect (and not just NBA project).

Cliff taking some threes helps spacing a ton. I’ll try to find some film clips but if teams feel like they need to at least be respecting the shot it creates more lanes. Teams use to guard myles from the paint when he would be out at the 3 point line for a ball reversal.

Teams may still sag off Cliff (maybe not as extreme as Myles) and dare him to shoot, especially if he's shooting a low %.

If the team shoots about 50% from 2, like they did last year (.494 to be precise)
Cliff needs to shoot 33% to break even - that's not considering any other benefits (which are significant)
Rutgers leaders in 3 points attempts last year
Geo 5.6/game = 33%
RHJ 5.3 = 40%
Paul 2.3 = 35%
Caleb 1.8 = 27%
Trust the coach, if Pikiell didn't think Cliff could make ~33%, he wouldn't be shooting them
