Oakland University Has Player Who Only Shoots 3's

Damn, respect to Max Hooper.  He is the living white basketball stereotype right there.  Just a white kid jacking 3's because he's good at that and not much else.  But to not even have a layup, or anything other than some free throws inside the arc?  I wonder if he's been in transition with nobody in front of him and he just jacks a 3 instead.  It wouldn't be bad though, he shoots 45% which is really good.  I hope he never shoots inside the arc ever again, even in practice.  I hope during pre-game layup lines he just shoots a 3 instead.  Coach wanst to do dribbling drills?  "Sorry old man, why get better at dribbling when I only catch and shoot?"  Awesome, I hope Oakland makes the tournament, they end up as like a 14/15 seed and play Duke, and Hooper fires 10+ 3s and make like a Final Four run and he never once shoots inside the arc.  I hope he plays in Summer League and again, doesn't shoot anything that isn't worth 3 points.  I hope whenever someone asks him about it he doesn't do the whole "Well, it's how our system works" bullshit like in the article.  I want him to just instantly respond to the interviewer and say "Because 3 is more than 2."  What else does he need to say?  It's elementary math.  Why does the kid need to explain himself?  Just appreciate this for what it is, and Max Hooper, please don't ever take a shot inside the arc, you are a trailblazer for pasty white shooters in high school who can't dribble, run, or jump, but still have dreams of playing D1 hoops.
