His knack for creating a shot for himself off the dribble for a deep three pull-up was amazing to watch.

Joshua Hough didn’t hesitate to shoot, he made the defense pay every time they left him open from deep. Hough’s quick shot release gave the defense no time to get a hand up and contest. This guard excelled when playing off the ball, Hough was a dangerous jump-shooter in the open floor. He did an outstanding job of getting of constantly getting free often by running the floor looking for spot-up three-point opportunities in transition and moving as the ball moved within the half court, this made him available from several different areas beyond the arc.
Christian Kelley

Christian Kelley proved to be the definition of a sharpshooter as he displayed smooth mechanics, a very pure, natural, and high release to go along with his elevation and excellent rotation on the ball no matter the distance, particularly on the right side of the floor where Kelley was at his best. Once the first few shots fell Christian’s confidence rose, he began feeling it, and he couldn’t miss after that.
