that last year's numbers are fairly meaningless at this point. Players generally improve as they get older and stronger so I would expect at least a few of them to improve over whatever they had last year.
Of the guys I've seen extensive videos of, I'd say that Andrews, Harris and Perry have the potential to be the best percentage three point shooters (somewhere in the mid 30s to low 40s). Freeny also has a very good looking stroke but I haven't seen enough of his videos to guess one way or the other. I'd say that Mack and Clark have the most work to do to bring their averages up---and certainly not an impossible task.
With 6 guards (including 2 freshmen), we can expect some to be good 3 point shooters. It would be extremely unusual for all 6 of them to be low percentage three point shooters this coming season and particularly the ones with really good fundamentally sound techniques.
