What is the Peli Talk opinion on Davis taking 3's?

What do y'all think about Davis taking 3s going forward?
Personally I'd like him to attempt 2-3 treys per game. Obviously I don't want him to fall in love with the 3, but he's shooting at a decent clip from long range so far this season.
So what do yall think? A couple of attempts sprinkled in, or focus solely on getting midrange and paint shots?

I think most of the attempts he's taken this year have been good. He's really too good of a rebounder to have him camped in the corner often, but the one he nailed last night on a bit of a broken play where he just happened to be standing there when Ish passed it to him was great. Leave AD unguarded anywhere on the court at your own peril NBA.

I like it as something he is able to do. When plays break down, when he's sitting there wide open for one reason or another. Plus having him as a threat to make an outside shot will bring defenders out to the perimeter. I like those aspects of it more so than actually designing plays to try to get him 3's.

I like it if its a good shot, 2 attempts a game 36.4% shot is serviceable.
He needs that to be closer to 40% and his attempts to stay the same, any more and he becomes too much like Kevin Love 2011-present. I like the Kevin Love of 2010 more, 20.2/15.2/2.5, but shot only 2.9 times a game from 3 and hit 41.7%

I feel like guys like Chris bosh and love were better players before they got enamored with jacking up 3s. Not really sure how much it lends to their games
I have no statistical evidence to back that up

I agree.
Obviously I don't want AD looking to take 5 or 6 3 attempts per game, but are the Pels better served with him taking 2 or 3 attempts per game, or zero?

This. I love that he can do it and stepping back to take a couple keeps defense's honest. That said, he spent way too much time out there early in the season. It looks like the staff has adjusted and he is back to operating from his comfort zone, which is still a step or two away from a 3.

Where to start with this?
36.4 3P% = 1.092 points per FGA

40% is closing in on elite, so expecting that is too much. Also, that and an ability to rebound are the only things similar about his game and Love's game.

Again, Love is a totally different player. I agree that 2-3 attempts beyond the arch is probably as high as I want him going. He is a much better roll man than Love.
Love is closer to Ryno than AD.

I like about 2.5 att a game from Ad from downtown. What he needs to cut down on is the contested midrange shots. Ideally, he should shoot 3-4 less midrange shots a game and take it strong to the basket or pass.

Good.

No one can block his shot and he is shooting 16+ ft away. He is making enough to not get pissed but why not have him down low shooting over people?

There are lots of people in the NBA that can block his shot on the post. Also, being on the block doesn't equal an easy shot. It's a lot easier to double down there and also easier to get into a shooter's body. He will receive passes with his back to the basket. Without a honed pivot move or drop step, he can't get turned around to shoot effectively.

He's hitting them at a great clip, the NBA game's recent history suggests this is a very, very wise move.
His scoring average will shoot up, his efficiency might go down, but it makes him that much harder to defend. Once guys need to get right up on him...he can drive by them and make a pass.
Makes him a more complete implement of domination.

I'm all in favor if they go in.
I however disapprove if they do not.

He needs to at least get a shot up. Occasional lobs aren't enough.
Posted on 11/25/15 at 8:45 pm to Jester
He should shoot 15 tonight. frick it.

If I'm coaching against Davis, the only place I'm not terrified of him is behind the arc. I think it crazy, unless he gets an really open one, in rhythm.

I like it because it forces defenses to respect him both outside and in. That opens up the floor some
