If people don't shoot credible shots from all over the floor, the defense can focus in certain areas without overcommitting.

well you're not going to TOTALLY eliminate it, and i don't expect him to just magically have a 3 point shot

but he's taking very long 2s. those should translate to 3s, and it needs to be something he develops if he's going to play soft. look at the difference for lebron and durant over time









rim and 3s

rim and 3s

rim and 3s

of course you'll take SOME long 2s, but you want your bread and butter to be at the rim and behind the 3 point line

Why are you trying to trying to turn AD in to a SF? And the multiple passive aggressive "soft" refrences?

The last thing we need is AD turning into Rasheed Wallace. He's got the wingspan of a 757 and people are actually advocating he step FARTHER away from the basket? Thanks Grantland...

Sorry, but ADs game is developing extremely nicely. He can dominate the game from 20 ft and in like he's doing, without standing in the corner waiting for kick out 3 pointers.

Anthony Davis isn't capable of playing behind the 3 point line right now. He's not playing like a 3, he's playing like a stretch four. He's a one dribble to the rim kind of guy, he can't do that from behind the 3 point line.

Yeah it would be great if he was a Lebron or Durant, but his offensive game isn't there. His strength is his quick first step and explosiveness, you take that away by playing him more behind the 3 point line.

I know the advanced statistics are starting to impact the game, but at some point you have to be realistic about the players ability.
