74.5% of their 3 pt attempts are catch & shoot
88.3% are "open" or "wide open"

LINK

last night they shot 6/21 (28%)
YTD they are shooting 28.7% which is LAST in the league (6.8 makes on 23.7 attempts per game).

is it gentry's system generating all these open looks, or is it opposing defenses giving them away while tripling davis in the paint?

I said this in the last thread about this, teams want our bad shooters bricking 3s, especially when Gentry has 4 shitty rebounders surrounding Davis.

I think it's a mixture of both, but the majority of the time I think opposing defenses are focusing on getting the ball out of Davis' hands. Hell, as bad as we are at shooting the 3 I would leave our guys wide open too. Damn we really miss Ryno to stretch the floor for AD. I had hopes that buddy would fill this role, but his start has been really slow. Hopefully, it picks up for him soon.

Have a superstar player that should be surrounded by 3 point shooters.

Have a system that gets 3 point shooters open looks.

Have shitty 3 point shooters.


Makes sense.

so i think they have done a decent job w/ spacing and ball movement this year. at times it looks very good.....

and defenses are willing to let other guys shoot because there is no other offense on this team.

same time, defenses also focused on Davis w/ Monty's system too. they had plenty of open looks because Davis will always bend a defense.

fair questions- how much has Davis progressed offensively in a year +? has his progression been a positive one? what role did Gentry/staff play in that progression?

i'll add this- i'm curious to see if RA and corner 3 FGA (Pels are at least 37% combined from there) go up with Holiday back in the lineup. those seem like areas where good attacking guards can make some hay in a spread system

This is like saying I'm good at creating 3 point shots for my self. When actually the other teams won't guard me because I'll brick the shot anyway.
