Could Michigan State big man Carson Cooper be working on adding a new element to his game this offseason? Fans are speculating that is the case following a recent photo shared by the Spartans’ official social media account.
Michigan State basketball is conducting offseason workouts this week, which obviously led to a few social media posts from the program’s official X account. Included in one of those posts was a picture that shows Cooper lining up for a shot from behind the 3-point line. This single image has generated buzz on social media; multiple fans speculated Cooper is working on developing a 3-point shot this offseason.
You can see the post from Michigan State showing what appears to be Cooper preparing for a 3-point shot below:
Could this be something or is it nothing? Well, this picture alone is probably nothing since every basketball player practices shots from all over the floor. So this could simply be a pure coincidence that the social media team picked a picture of Cooper. But, it’s definitely more fun and intriguing to speculate that this is the beginning of a new part of Cooper’s game. You can’t argue against that.
For reference, Cooper has one 3-point attempt in his three seasons at Michigan State, which he missed this past year. Should he actually add a more frequent 3-point shot to his game, that would be quite the change.
For now, we can back-burner this thought. But when we get our first look at the Spartans in the fall, this will be something I personally will keep an eye out for when Cooper and Michigan State take the court for the first time.
