We are actually even in the 3PT cat.

Achor has been a surprise. When he is engaged in the game, he is good on both ends. Ballard is a disappointment; he is too slow mentally physically. He just doesn't react well to much and lost much of the time.

I see a lot of people complaining about the defense. Don't get me wrong, I think it is problematic, but we are technically middle of the pack defensively in the SEC. The biggest problem is that we do not have any bigs that are consistent enough to provide us points underneath, resulting in our offense not being able to keep pace. Ballard is the highest and he only averages 6 points a game. That is not enough to compete with the top 7 teams in this league. Eppes and McGhee are also not consistent enough either. Honestly, I wish we could get McGhee more shots from beyond the arc because he is our best shooter from behind the line.
