The spacing of that potential roster makes me sick. Lowe is a sub 30% shooter, he’s not inconsistent, at this point he’s just been a bad shooter.

What makes you say Green would be a “very good” shooter? He’s like 33% for his career. Yes, he was better this past year but it was in 9 games on a tiny sample size.

Lowe is interesting bc if you look at his highlights, he's taking 3s well beyond the 3 point line. So perhaps his shot selection is is the main issue, but his form and range don't look bad on tape. I honestly cannot comment on the full picture bc I didn't watch pitt play at all. But I see his freshman shooting was much better (when he didn't have the freedom to do what he wants bc Bud Carrington was the main ball handler).

Green, I thought i read somewhere he was a good and electric shooter. You're right the %s don't match that premise. But I would definitely prefer an upgrade over Green.

This is what I think the realistic lineup is looking like right now based on news we've received. This is far from my ideal lineup lol

Question for you, what guard players in the portal are much better shooters than these guys that we have a legit shot with?

Yeah I’d agree, I haven’t dove into Pitt games but just from the Portal highlights YouTube vid, he has decent to good form. He also looks comfortable in PnR, there were a few clips of him snaking the screen and getting to the paint fairly easily. Both of those things should lead to higher percentages, which I’d also assume means the shot selection is not great. Again, this off a very cursory look.

As for who I’d like, I don’t remember all the names lol. I like the kid from FDU for point (extremely uninspiring group though, if you can reign in Lowe he could play that role well imo), Miles at the 2 would be good. Keyshawn Hall and Nutter are my favorites at the 3. Dean probably the highest upside 4. Gwath would’ve been the prize at 5 but he’s Kentucky bound. There were a couple of other 5s that looked solid and would provide a little bit of spacing while still being solid at the rim. I know nothing about the kid from TCU.

He’s probably too small for ACC basketball but I liked the UNF point guard, could see him being a good backup to run a bench unit.
