I am considering the stats, but one other area you need to consider is the different situations between the Ulis and the Harrison twins. I do agree that it is Calipari's fault on that, not the Harrison twins. Ulis and Murray took more shots than the twins did because they lacked the talent around them that the Harrison twins had. There was no Karl Towns, no Willie Cauley-Stein or Dakari Johnson in the paint. Skal Labissiere didn't turn out to be as talented as anticipated, and his strength is hitting mid-rage jump shots - not being a strong post presence. So that didn't open anything up. The only post presence we had was an occasional score by Poythress. Lee's offense was limited to the alley-oop and hopefully we'll see him make some big improvements over the off-season to the point where he comes back playing the great basketball he is capable of.

You are right that Tyler Ulis did shoot a lower percentage from three point range than Andrew Harrison, but last year Ulis shot 42% with a a solid big man around him. Ulis still shot 34% from three this year, it's not good but there are plenty of players that shoot worse. What you didn't mention, however, was that Ulis, at 5'9, shot over 10% better from inside the three point arc than Andrew Harrison, who shot better from three point range than two point range. Ulis did not have the talent around him that the Harrison twins did, but he still took a lot of smart shots and made good decisions driving the lane. Andrew Harrison is 6'5. No guard of that size should be shooting below 40% at the college level. And I still love the Harrison twins. But they took a lot of bad shots.

If UK had a consistent big man this season, Ulis would have relied on him more and taken far fewer shots. Last year he always looked to feed it inside to Towns, Johnson, or Cauley-Stein when he had the opportunity. This year he had to create offense. It's scary to think about just how good him and Murray could have been had they had someone like Karl Towns or if Dakari Johnson had decided to come back.

It goes back to the same point that I made to Hoot, Alex P and Lee both shot over 60% I agree with you most of Lee's points came from dunks but Alex P was often not involved in the Offense. Had KAT been on this years team you can't be sure that Murray and Ulis would have got him involved. I felt like Ulis put unneeded pressure on his teammates and this years team was divided. The reason Andrew's 2 point field goal percentage was so low last season is simple, watch the game films I bet over 20 times he lobbed the ball toward the rim for a pass that got counted as a shot. Make no mistake on the Offensive end I give the advantage to Murray & Ulis . I think of the 4 players Murray is by far the best Shooter and scorer! But when it comes to Half court Defense, mental toughness, Clutch shooting and putting Wins up IMO the Twins were way better! I have still not got a comment from you or Hoot about Ulis getting toasted in the UT, Auburn games. Still nothing about Ulis meltdown late in the Kansas game. Ulis being a midget hurt this team 3 point defense it's that simple. The Stats prove it!
