I meant each. 35 3PAs is league average. If Trey and Naji are your 6th and 7th. how do you get to 35 3PAs if BI isnt going to take any?


3-pointers are overrated. If you can produce the same points per shot with 2-pointers, you will give up less transition opportunities because you are missing less shots, and the ones you do miss are not giving up long rebounds and leak-outs.

This is astronomically false. The whole league is dependent on 3s. You can’t produce same points per shot with 2s in todays NBA. You don’t make or take 3s in the NBA- you will lose.

This is so wrong it's impressive. It's very hard to produce the same points per shot with 2-pointers as 3-pointers. You have a much smaller margin of error. That's pretty much the entire premise behind the analytics movement.

The Pelicans front office and coaching staff agree with me considering they've been trying to get BI to take more 3s for years. So to them, 3s are not overrated
