[QUOTE="TheFameProtector, post: 1504188, member: 517079"] I both agree and disagree with your points. After all, we see a lot more midrange shots come playoff time in the NBA since they're more effective (or the only reasonable option late-clock) when defenses tighten up -- Kawhi took down GS living off that shot. I think there's a time and a place for emphasizing its use, and late game would have been a good situation where getting a midrange off with a clean look was better than driving into a bunch of bodies (hindsight is 20/20 on that, but still). Overall, though, it definitely makes sense to sacrifice long 2s for 3s. I really think we need to work on setting up some more drive and kick opportunities for Ayo, where the receiving guy is Frazier -- draw a help defender and kick to the knock down 3 point shooter. That and dumping it to Kofi are our most efficient offensive weapons right now. And if Ayo can do that enough to bump up those assists, it will only help his draft stock. [/QUOTE]
