Agreed tigerinatl. Revisiting this argument from last year I had to switch from Moore to Lonzo.

But at the same time, we are really gonna need Moore to stretch the floor for Lonzo etc, and we dont have a lot of 3 shooters to begin with.

So it seems obvious at first glance, but its hard to say. What if Ball gets hurt againor his shooting returns to abysmal? Moore has been more reliable/less injury prone.

Volume >>>> Proficiency when it comes to creating space. Moore is a better all around player than Darius Miller, but if you're just looking for spacing, I'd play Miller over Moore. Defenses are aware of and respect Miller more because he's a volume shooter. Per 36 minutes Miller took 7.5 3s last season compared to 4.3 for Moore.

I wish there was a good stat to show gravity and how teams guard, or don't guard, a player. The best I can come up with is using the player tracking, 88% of Moore's 3s were Open or Wide Open. 75% of Miller's 3s were Open/Wide Open. For comparison 78.5% of Redick's 3s were Open/Wide Open.
