Three Up / Three Down--Three Man Weave
Three Down
Detroit
Hoo boy, does Detroit stink right now. The Titans currently stand at 1-8 overall and 2-7 ATS, a sign that despite their relatively tough schedule they’re performing well below expectations. Antoine Davis caught the attention of the nation last year with his insane 38% 3P% on 347 attempts, most of which were definitely NOT high-percentage shots, but even he hasn’t been able to save Detroit from the abyss in the early going.
There are two key reasons for this drop-off: 1) Last year’s seniors were really important. Guys like Josh McFolley, Derrien King, and Gerald Blackshear didn’t get a whole lot of credit, but they were solid complementary pieces to the star of the show. 2) Shots just aren’t falling. The Titans connected on 35.6% of their three-point attempts last season, 103rd best in the country, but are shooting just 30.7% this year (247th). For a team that attempts threes at the 7th highest rate in the land, poor shooting is a death sentence. To boot, Detroit’s uptempo style of play makes them susceptible to blow-outs, as lots of possessions + poor three-point shooting = large margins of defeat. Indeed only ten teams this year have a worse margin of victory than Detroit’s -18.1.
Amazingly, Brad Calipari, former Kentucky walk-on and subject of casual fan adoration, has done his part brilliantly, connecting on 47.5% of his three-point tries. But, when your offense is so reliant on one player – as Detroit is on Antoine Davis – you are more likely to be “shot out” of games when said player is ice cold from the field.
