We have been trying to shoot a lot of three pointers this summer, and so far it has been going well. The percentages are increasing, as are the confidence levels of our shooters. After today's open gym and a solid shooting display by one of our kids, one can't help but think back to the Baylor/Colorado game during the NCAA Tournament this past season, when Brady Heslip of Baylor went 9-12 from three point range, scoring 27 points in the Baylor victory. Great shooters like Heslip (and his idol Pistol Pete, shown in the picture above) are not accidental...people watch him drain 9 three pointers on TV, but they don't see him shooting in the rain in his driveway at home, or making 150 threes before a typical Baylor practice. That is the kind of hard work that goes unnoticed by casual spectators but is necessary for that type of success. Enjoy the article linked here: Brady Heslip
