I’ve often heard that defenses win championships….but I’ve still yet to see a win a game 0-0. Ultimately, it’s a “make or miss game,”, and I you have to hit shots to win. Let’s look at the best shot hitters…

Cooper will benefit by more help. Her efficiency numbers were down a bit, and if she can get those up, she could average close to 25. She averaged 19.2 last season on 41% from the floor, hit 41 3s on 24%, BUT hit 125 FTs on 65%. Those 125 FTs are a TON. If she could shoot 45%, 32%, and 75%…..her numbers skyrocket. It’s really hard to find space with the whole D is loaded up on you.
Painter had similar starts to Cooper in that she’s a diverse scorer who just needs to get her efficiency numbers up. She shot and scored it competently from all three levels. Averaged 18.7 on 41% from the floor, 38 made 3s on 26%, and 122 made FTs on 73%. If her percentages rise she could easily average 22.
Averaged 17.6 on 43% from the floor. She knocked down 67 3s on 34% shooting, and impressively when knocked down 115 FTs on 73%. She’s a kid that could easily average 20 with a small uptick in numbers. Pure scorer and shooter.
Weathers put on 17.3 points per game last year on nice efficientcy numbers. Really can score around the rim. Diverse skill set.
Ryan averaged 17.3 points per game on 43% from the field. Most importantly, she hit 81 3s at only 35%! If she gets that number to 40% and she hits 95 3s….it’s a completely different season for her scoring the basketball. She did hit 77 FTs on 75% from the line so she doesn’t shy away from contact.
Highlights
I really like this long-armed scorers potential. She averaged 17 points last year on 45% from the field. She was a willing 3pt shooter who knocked down 33 3’s at a 33% clip. Needs to improve her FT% up from 66% (she hit 55). Wilson has the potential to be a real three level scorer.
