Quinn Costello’s shooting has Michigan ‘shocked when he misses’

Elliot Cadeau had what’s probably the highest praise you could give a true freshman like Quinn Costello:

“If I were an NBA scout and I’ve seen a 6-10, 6-11 guy shooting no-dip catch-and-shoot threes and just making the whole defense not being able to help on him, I feel like I would pick him on my team.”

It’s not hard to see why Michigan’s starting point guard felt that way. Costello finished the night with the highest plus-minus of anyone on the floor, a true shooting percentage of 125%, and held his own on the defensive side of the ball.

Obviously, Costello’s game starts with his outside shooting. Against UConn, he went 1-for-5, but all of the attempts were good looks. Versus Marquette, he went 5-for-6.

Cadeau was pretty spot-on in his assessment of Costello; he loves his catch-and-shoot threes. Of his five makes, only one wasn’t, with Costello just throwing a little pumpfake and dribble into the mix.
