I like this pickup - 6'5" ball handler who can play three positions. Not a great outside shooter but he can attack the rim and score in transition. We got two guys last year who can fill it up behind the arc in Sed and Shake, I think McDowell will complement them nicely

Are you sure about that or are they scorers more than shooters?

I believe Shake is a shoot first type player. I'm not saying he's a ball hog but I think when he gets the ball his first thought is to score. We really haven't had a player like that under LB. I guess it all depends on how much freedom LB gives him. As long as he defends, he'll be fine.

I curious to see how Sed fits in the offense. He can shoot but my guess is he will primarily look to facilitate early on. His game kind of reminds me of Stephen Woods, one of my favorite SMU baller ever.

I am just asking what kind of long range shooters are they.

Shake shot 50% from the field last summer in AAU competition. He only shot 33% from deep but very well from the line - 83%. I've heard he is streaky from deep but when he gets hot, lookout. Sed shoots a high percentage from deep. I can't find his percentages but all of his scouting reports say he is an excellent 3-point shooter.
