If he hits it, Bacot can't stand 8 feet away clogging the lane anymore, and our offense opens up.
Bacot will force him to make 2 of his first 5 shots before taking it away. If he hits the first, Bacot will let him miss the next 4-5 if he keeps shooting. If he goes 2-4, then Bacot will have to respect it for at least several possessions.
Nelson’s shooting 26.5% from 3 this season, and that includes a bunch of games in a familiar home gym with significantly less pressure. Even if he shot 30%, that’s only 0.9 PPP with virtually no chance at an offensive rebound (unless Pringle or MoD are in the game with him). Even 33% and 1.0 PPP probably doesn’t cut it against UNC. If they’re smart, they’ll double the screens he’s involved in, sag off him if he’s in the corner, and leave him wide open until he hits at least 2 of the first 5 he takes.
Here’s hoping he has the best game of his life, or just doesn’t shoot it to start the game until he seems like he may have an in rhythm 3 and is used to the gym (or just not shoot a 3 at all).
