re: Davis is shooting 55% from midrange so far..

with a proper offense you don't need to do this, especially if you have a passer on the elbow and a driver besides, just picture it a defender closing in on a 20 footer is going to still close in on a 23 footer. if that's your "good" shot that they WILL defend, you're talking about a very slight difference in terms of defensive spacing. it's essentially the same shot that will gain the same respect, so i just don't see how this changing anything. that's my whole point off the P/R it makes sense b/c you can pick/pop (assuming you have a good driver, which we have 3 of) other than that, the spacing difference for a defender is about 0 and if they respect your long2, they'll respect your 3s slightly behind the long2

I presented some data. I can picture many competing reasonable things, but the data needs to be factored in. Data can be misleading, but Duncan taking all those long 2's is contrary one of your basic planks in your argument.

You should address that.
