"I feel really confident with my three-point shot," said Banchero after putting up his second-highest point total of the season. "I’ve been putting in a lot of work. Just putting in a ton of work trying to get that shot right, get my touch from out there right. Obviously, I’m not going to shoot six-for-seven every game, but just having that confidence whether it’s a make or miss to shoot the next one. My teammates and coaches, they pump the confidence. They are on me. If I don’t shoot it, I’m hearing about it. They’re always holding me accountable. So, it’s been good, but I’ve got a lot of work to do still."
