[QUOTE="danielb927, post: 1889114, member: 3372"] 100% agree. The "analytics" in this case are extremely simple. If your shooting percentage on a given two attempt is more than 1.5x better than on a given three, the two is a better shot. If not, it's not. End of story. Translating that into real basketball - creating open shots and knowing when to take them - is anything but simple. But the numbers themselves are not magic. If we could have converted 40% of mid-range twos, it would have been better than the 25% (ish?) we shot on contested threes. [/QUOTE]
