Trey is a hustle guy but he has never shot the basketball well. Last year he shot a good percentage from 3 but low volume. He is a liability at the FT as well. Just never been a guy that can consistently shoot. Love his hustle but he is best served as a spark off the bench.

He has a weird twist in his shot and release... I do too, when shooting with my off hand. How in the hell has he played this long with those mechanics not getting fixed is beyond me.
Do you ever pay real attention? Did you not suffer through race Thompson’s brick laying competition? Woody gives the green light. They just have to be willing to take them. No way they take 30 a game. Very few teams do.
Lol no we don't. Maybe a handful of teams attempted that many on average and if I had to guess they weren't very good.
7-8 makes on 20-23 attempts is much more appropriate.
I passed that twist to my nephew. I teased him about it being my fault he was so streaky. Kid might hit 6 in a row or miss 20.

There's a new thought among some modern coaches that perfect mechanics are not needed as long as they are repeatable ... I say bullshit to that and I think watching X, Cupps and Trey shoot proves my point.
You don't have an effing clue as to what you're talking about.
Three teams in college basketball averaged 30 3pt attempts a game last year: BYU, North Florida, and College of Charleston.
If you round up……😑. In all seriousness if you do what Alabama did and run into a decent 3 point defense or good rebounding team then those 30-35 attempts hurt you.
Alabama and all their prowess didn't average 30 attempts a game.
There's a few simple ways to increase 3pt output ...
1. In transition have wings run to the line not the rim. Take the open ones.
2. After offensive rebounds have perimeter players go to the line and unless a wide open unguarded put back, rebounder needs to pass it back out for 3 attempts.
3 Get players that can shoot it when guarded and/or off the dribble.
4 Tell Malik to pass the damn ball back out when doubled, tripled or quadrupled. lol ...
#2 is the one that drives me nuts when watching IU ... it's the easiest wide open three in basketball and we never do it.

We can't have enough "quality" guards. It is a guard game and this is a position we have royally SUCKED ASS in the past 8 seasons. JHS was a one man show. We need a group and a solid one. Especially our starters. If we can get a legit PG and have Cupps as the solid backup, then great. We need a lengthy 2 who can stroke it as well as another 3. Go get 2 dawgs in the middle and then keep feeling up the guard pipeline. Guards. Keep getting guards that can SHOOT!
For all of Creans flaws he was good at making defenders make a choice on the break and secondary break. He loved to throw two shooters on the same side while the big ran the floor to the opposite post. Then yogi or another for 3.
From what I have heard, Trey and his families actually requested that Woodson recruit over him for a starting guard and for Trey to be a 6th man already last offseason. Trey only cares about winning and he realizes that he is not a starter on a championship caliber team. Trey realizes that and his family does. The reason Trey’s role didn’t change last year is because he was the only reasonable option we had. X was hurt half the year season, Gunn didn’t pan out, Cupps was outsized this year, there was no other somewhat reliable option besides Trey last year.
Ok? Alabama replaced half there roster and almost won it all by shooting threes and scoring. 90ppg and 30 three point attempts per game.
So? Alabama gave up open shots to run his junk system. Wins a bunch of games but never the big one. They literally give up open midrange shots at all costs. It cost them. Took 4 all year. Was easy for UConn to guard the 3.

This almost sounds too good to be true. Hope you’re right.
Hope this news gets out to the broader fanbase. Impressive.
#4 for me. Love MR’s improved production this season but passing in to him is a black hole effect. Watch some damn TJD tapes. I’m sure Woody has hours of film to show him.
Is 46 considered geriatric these days? At least I’m not brain dead.
You hope an unsupported rumor gets out to the fan base? Why would that be a good thing?
Oh no Woody says in a presser that Trey is willing to play whatever role that helps the team the most including 6th man.
Ofc assuming it’s true. Just give him a little credit. Harmless.

I was told 50 was the new 40. Wish my knees and metabolism believed that bullshit.

I am in my 50's and don't feel like I am in my 40's. I was chasing the cat the other night to put her up and got very tired, worrying I would pull something.
His secondary break was very, very effective. Man those Zeller teams were so fun to watch…for the most part.
Many people up here say it’s because his dad valued scoring and winning over developing some important skills like shooting and different types of dribbling skill.
Treys youth teams all won tournaments and stuff, and he dominated, but he literally never took outside shots.
No clue how true that is. I do know that while his dad is a solid HS coach, he makes Hurley look calm on the sidelines. Not a very well liked coach in our area. And if the stuff about how he coached Trey is true, I can definitely see how he failed to learn proper form outside about 5-10 feet.
I don't doubt that Trey is willing to play any role. He's proven he's that kind of player. I doubt he bluntly told Woodson to recruit over him. Sounds completely made up.
