Around SBN: Trent Richardson Interviews Fellow Brown Brandon Weeden

Michael Snaer’s (and FSU’s collective) 3 point percentage:

So this is my first post on TN (I'm normally the type to sit back and read everyone else's comments), but I thought this was very interesting and worth posting.

After paying more attention to National Signing Day streaming on my laptop than the classes that I was in all day, I decided to switch gears and follow it up by going to the FSU vs Georgia Tech basketball game. Here’s a very intriguing stat that I noticed while looking over the box score after the game:

Of Michael Snaer’s last 14 3-point attempts (the last 3 games, or since the Duke game), he’s only missed 3 shots! That’s 78.6%!

As Michael Rogner mentioned after the game in the pre-game discussion thread, the team collectively over the last 5 games (since UNC) has gone 41-87 from 3-point range, or 47.1%!

Here’s another take on that: FSU as a team in that same time frame is averaging 8.2 3-pointers per game! That’s incredible!

So the big question is, what has happened exactly? Is the 3-guard lineup really responsible for such good offensive output, has something finally just “clicked” all of a sudden for Snaer and others, or is it something else? (i.e-weak competition in Wake and GT)

Furthermore, I wonder if they can keep this up, or will the hot-streak come to a halt come tournament time? If it keeps up, it’s almost scary to think how far FSU could go in the NCAA tourney this year!

Any thoughts?

I was wondering the same thing

Maybe Rogner will chime in with some input

Part real, part small sample size.

Having Dulkys go Euro vs UNC and Snaer go Dulkys vs Georgia Tech certainly helps the %, but the main thing has been better spacing. Before the 3-guard lineup the offense was rarely in rhythm and so players were forcing shots, often out of frustration. Better spacing allows players to shoot in proper rhythm (clean look, bouncing into the shot) which will lead to better %s.

Hopefully it keeps up

Also, did anyone else notice during the first half yesterday while Snaer was not scoring, he was extremely vocal and animated on the court. At first I thought maybe all the talk about his “emerging” as a scorer had gotten to his head, but then he pulled through later big time. Then I realized, even if he’s not scoring, it’s probably a great thing that someone finally has stepped up and gotten vocal out there, as on the court it hasn’t really seemed as if there’s been a true go-to leader.

Ham says he pulled him to keep his # of mins. under control

According to Hamilton,

Snaer can describe the offensive and defensive principles of all 5 players as well as any player he’s ever coached

FSU's big men kind of got out played in the first half...hopefully due to rust.

But FSU’s depth just wore down GaTech in the 2nd. I did notice, one time where the Yellow Jackets didn’t guard Gibson out by the 3-point line…he didn’t shoot it. Think Coach Ham laid down a new rule for him?

I noticed that too

Was right behind that..wondered the same. I don’t see why he would tell him to stop, it’s not like he does it a ton, and it adds a whole new dimension to the offense that keeps the defense out of balance. I wonder if he just got scared..

Thanks

I’ve been following TN for a couple years now and have never felt the need to really contribute much, but this year’s basketball team has me really intrigued for some reason and it got me thinking a lot

What he said.

Nice read PCfish. (BTW, what is the Politically Correct way to slay a fish?)
