Dick has to play significant minutes because having Harris/Mccullar/Wilson as three locks in the lineup gives you no scoring punch at all. We saw what Pitt state did early: pack down low, play Wilson to drive, and live with the results and the results were not good for us because Adams and Udeh aren't scorers either. They need dick and rice to shoot because if rice struggles and dick is in foul trouble or something, we are going to really struggle to score consistently. The defense will certainly keep us in games but we are going to have to win lots of 62-57 type games to have a good season.

I think Wilson can get his 3 point percentage up quite a bit this year. Maybe into the low 30’s. Last year was a little misleading, because he was ice cold for like the first half of the season. He was at like 15% for a really long time.
Clemence can really shoot it too. That should help create some spacing on offense.
