In December, Spencer Johnson was hovering around 30% from 3. Blaine Fowler guaranteed that he would be at 40% by Feb.

I'd postulate with the minutes he's playing he's expending more effort rebounding and defensive intensity, which

I think this is a reasonable argument. Could you also argue that, given others on the team are shooting much better this

I think he gets good looks throughout the game, and still feels confident taking contested shots as well. I like the

I think the fatigue of playing strong, long, athletic Big12 players every game

On offense he's penetrating, posting up more; not just spotting up for threes

Opinion….too many players and rotations. Can’t get in a groove.

Increased responsibilities. Much tougher D. Regardless of the %, SJ is a much more dynamic, impactful player this year.

Blaine should not make guarantees. SJ has had a different role that's also essential & leaves shooting to others.

If he's shooting the same % in B12 play, you could argue he has improved since December when factoring in competition.

It feels like everyone has gotten worse since Dec., so same percentage is better

He’s shot >39% from 3 all three previous years at BYU, including 46% last year.

Has his defensive effort and rebounding effort not gone up a significant notch than prior years? I think it has,

CLCougar

It has, but I don’t think that satisfactorily answers why he shot poorly in OOC

He shot really poorly against our historically weak non-conference schedule

He's doing less catch and shoot and more playing off the bounce in the offense..

I think you're right. Last year he was really disciplined in shot selection and

His wife was about to deliver a baby, so he was at home more. Less practice.

Feb 26, 10:46am

Probably doesn't explain him shooting 29% from 3 in November...

His wife was pregnant, could have had morning sickness or other stuff going on

His age is catching up to him

He has the next phase to look forward to now!

Better defenders affect his accuracy. This became apparent at Utah.

I wish stats could have won the Utah game.

He's been obsessed handling/backing into the hoop = turnover increase, too

Better competition of course. WCC was weak...
