Sterling already is a 44% 3 point shooter-which is freaking outstanding. He should have the confidence in the future as an upperclassman to find and let those 3s go more often.

I would argue his percentage is that high because of how selective he is with 3 point shots.

I can remember multiple times when he passed an open 3 because his feet weren't set in time, or a defender had a chance to close out.

its time. Ben is already going to be a junior. seems like yesterday he threw down that dunk against Rhode Island at the Garland Events Center announcing his arrival as a freshman. i look for him to take the next step in maturity and have a huge year.

Let's not forget the first time he checked into a game, he took off his warmup jacket off and he wasn't wearing a jersey underneath :D Had to run back to the locker room to grab his jersey

Fair point but I was meaning more in quantity. I want him hitting them enough to respect his shot and have to keep a guy in his general area so that the interior guys have more space to work.

Nice to have recruited four year players that by the time they're upper classmen know the system inside and out

For Ben to breakout, he has to have something more than length, effort and put-backs. Kid needs a mid range or reliable go to, over at least one shoulder. #realtalk

He needs a f this game where he takes it up and flushes on someone trying to body him. He had a good game vs [deleted] competition (Lamar) last year then got timid when the Zags were banging him around
