It is definitely achievable, although I think it puts a certain cap on our ceiling this year. Some guards are going to have to get in the paint to rebound at times. Whitt is one of the best when it comes to that. We had two or three screens on most possessions when Joe was in. While UALR probably won’t be good this year, like you said they are not a small team by any means.

We're going to have to go the route Auburn took last year.
I think that even after this 1st season we will see a lot of this. Musselman really likes to throw up the deep ball. I guess the analytics justify it. His teams put up the majority of their shots behind the line or point blank at the rim.
Personally I've never liked teams that live and die by the 3, but who am I to criticize? And I suppose it's a fine strategy so long as you have shooters to knock them down.

Swicker, a lawyer and former NBA team consultant, has essentially written the Bible on Isaiah Joe. This week, he joined The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie, one of the world’s most respected draft analysts, to further break down Joe, a pre-season All-SEC selection who last season set the SEC record for three-pointers made per game by a freshman (3.32 per game). On top of that, Joe was the only high major player in college basketball last season to take at least 60 shots off the dribble and make them at a 1.2 point per possession clip.
“Isaiah Joe is just the absolute most fun player in college basketball that like 20 percent of college basketball fans actually know who the **** he is,” said Vencenie, who previously wrote for CBS Sports.
“He is just a monster shooter. He is ridiculous in every regard as a shooter.”
Swicker then noted on Vencenie’s podcast that Joe is one of only three freshmen to ever shoot over 40% from three-point range while also attempting at least 10 three-point attempts per 40 minutes, adjusted for pace.
The other two?
Steph Curry, the two-time NBA MVP, and Jamal Murray, the young Denver Nuggets star. Shooting at this level is a really good indicator of NBA success.

Sports Illustrated has us picked 7th in the SEC.
quote:
Darkhorse Team: Arkansas
Eric Musselman is no stranger to quick turnarounds, and the Razorbacks bring back a good deal of talent that’s well-suited to how he’ll want to play. Despite the loss of Daniel Gafford, Arkansas should be able to push the tempo and put up a ton of points, starting with its potential breakout star Isaiah Joe. If they prove they can defend at a pace to match the way they’ll want to score the ball, they should be able to outperform projections and put together a top-half finish. Beyond the top two teams, it’s really anyone’s guess how this goes.
quote:
Eric Musselman inherits a team well-equipped to play his preferred, fast-paced style, beginning with sharpshooter Isaiah Joe, who should finish among the SEC’s leading scorers. As a true freshman, Joe shot 41% from distance while attempting eight treys per game, a remarkable mix of volume and consistency that should be further weaponized this season. Mason Jones, Jalen Harris and SMU transfer Jimmy Whitt can all get up and down the floor. If the Razorbacks can make up for their lack of height with group rebounding, consistent defense and strong transition play, there’s room for immediate improvement.

Joe going 0 points and 4 fouls was nice to see others pick up the slack.
