re: Pels 3pt rankings

Just scanning over it, of the 39 guys that average more 3PA than Trey, only two play less minutes. Malik Monk and Buddy. Only three out of the top 54 in attempts play less. So he shoots it at a high rate for sure.

Thanks. Confirms what I was guessing.

I mean Zion collapses the whole defense when he dribbles inside the 3pt arc. Zion should be averaging 10 assisted 3pt makes a game.

Teammates are left literally wide open.

Between Zion's paint presence, BI's mid-range game, Herb's defense and Val's low-post game, if you told me the Pels finished the season averaging 12 3 pointers a game on 32 attempts (37.5%), I'd say that's enough to balance out our scoring. Our starting unit is just not built to shoot 3's at a high volume. We score in other ways and should make up some of the long-range deficit from the foul line.

So long as we are averaging double digit makes on 30+ attempts a night we should be good. Some nights we'll get shot out of the gym, but overall if we are an efficient 3-point shooting team--as opposed to a volume one--who also scores in the paint, goes to the line, and creates transition offense with its defense, we should be ok.
