Offseason glow up complete ✨

[Caden Hoffman @coachcadenhoff]

Starting a series breaking down some of the best available transfers still out there.
First up: Ethan Copeland

Copeland is arguably the best shooter still available whose skillset goes beyond being just a deadeye from 3.

The only player in the ASun last year to put up at least 7.5 3PAs/G at 41% and one of only 10 players in the country to post such numbers

Copeland also posted 46.2% on Catch & shoot 3s & shot a whopping 49.1% on Transition 3s last season.

Aside from 3PT shooting Copeland who’s listed at 6’2 also posted a 12.5% DRB%(72%tile) which makes him 1 of 6 players to fit this criteria while shooting at least 41% from 3.

Pair that with Copeland’s 9.9% TO%(88%tile) & 2.9% Steal% (81%tile) and he excels at many of the tools an off-ball guard/secondary ball handler requires (floor spacing, generate extra possessions)

The film also shows his ability to make great reads in ball screens (especially to the short roll which is basically a required skill nowadays) and the ability to drive closeouts where he shot 47.1% on paint 2s this past season.

[Rising Ballers Network @dylan_lutey]

Ethan Copeland (@EthanCope412), one of the best available guards in the portal, has heard from the following:

Gonzaga
Missouri
USC
Pacific
LMU
Boise State
VCU
High Point
BYU
Wyoming
Marshall

15.0 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 2.1 APG, 44.1% FG, 42.9% 3FG, 79.4% FT.

Go Hokies!
