Well you don't have to worry about Mo shooting 3's. He refuses. I wonder if he would make some of the sometimes. He has a smooth mid range jumper.

Mo improved his mid range jumper as season progressed. I don’t think he made 20 shots all season beyond 10 feet

Just for S&Gs, I checked to see if anyone hit the portal yet. All good.

The mid range game is becoming a forgotten art but it will be important in the NCAA tournament just like it becomes much more important in the NBA playoffs
