If you’re a role player and you have 8 shots a game to take, they need to be either wide open layups or wide open 3s. Same concept 25 years ago but they were catch and shoot mid range jumpers

Basketball simplified is to maximize your points per possession while limiting your opponent's
3s > 2s, it makes no sense to not prioritize them

Thoughts that haven't crossed my mind while watching basketball games the last several years:
"You know what would be nice? Returning to the days I could watch Eduardo Najera and Tony Delk shooting elbow jumpers."

so you are saying that 3 is a higher percentage shot?

18-20 ft 2s were probably the least efficient shots there are. Why not step back a few more feet and shoot a 3

or is it because they are not trying to be more efficient on it or the lack of training?
Donkey for example is not even an efficient shooter from 3 but would gladly do it, but he's too scared to take midrange shots.

by doing that, you are also losing some ground for 2nd chance points.18-20 ft 2s were probably the least efficient shots there are. Why not step back a few more feet and shoot a 3

I remember having a game on at a family event and a guy who doesn’t even watch sports was like damn what happened to basketball? He said everyone is just launching 3’s with no attempt to rebound. I said yea that’s pretty much all they do now. I think it was a Rockets game too

You messed up by talking basketball with someone who doesn’t watch sports.

One of the benefits of shooting more 3s is long rebounds
They literally give you better opportunities for 2nd chance points

remember that recent game between the Warriors and Grizzlies where they were chucking 3s? if that is what you call as evolution and efficient, then damn,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,(speechless).I remember having a game on at a family event and a guy who doesn’t even watch sports was like damn what happened to basketball?

There's a reason smart teams saw what the warriors did in 2015/16 and instead of writing it off as anomalous/gimmicky immediately began copying them
If it's not a layup/dunk it needs to be a 3. There is no better shot for the average player to take

Again emphasis on average. Your stars get wiggle room. Can’t hate shooting when every team in the past 30 years that won got key floor spacing from their role players.

Speaking of this 3 debate. I saw a Dennis Rodman Bulls 3 point compilation and man, he was terrible at 17% but when it went in it was a damn perfect shot.
Dennis ******* Rodman though with a 8 minute 3’s compilation video and Ben Simmons with a herniated disk from CoD.

if they are scoring, but what if when they are missing? like the Grizzlies and Warriors game when both teams were just chucking 3s like crazy to no avail.

just remember that those stats are also magnified by attempts. 1 attempt miss per game would decrease your percentage by a mile as compared to someone like WestBrook that chucks up shot after shot. between Draymond and Dennis, I have more confidence on Dennis making the shot or does something on offense.Speaking of this 3 debate.
