The Butler transfer will get a chance to improve the UW's 3-point efforts.
Over a scrambling two months, newly hired University of Washington basketball coach Danny Sprinkle has given the Huskies a near total makeover, swapping out 10 of 13 roster spots. He's brought in an assortment of interesting big men and all new guards, coming from all over the country.
Sprinkle doesn't hesitate to name his leading candidate who will be entrusted with this long-range responsibility -- 6-foot-1 Butler transfer DJ Davis. For sure, Davis has a golden touch from 15 feet after leading the nation in free-throw shooting last season, dropping in 95 of 100 attempts for a near-perfect 95 percent. Still, can that translate to something game-changing from 22 feet and an inch?
To contrast Davis' accuracy, Steph Curry, considered the finest long-range shooter in basketball over the past two decades, fired away at a 41.2 percent clip for Davidson before joining the Golden State Warriors.
