[QUOTE="sacraig, post: 1889122, member: 586845"] Right. I would bet most of the analytics have assumed that the shooter is getting approximately equally-open shots regardless of the position on the floor. Over a large dataset taken from high-level basketball, that's probably roughly true. But it seems like (for whatever reason), our team would fire off a contested three or shoot a three while still running or other such low-percentage attempts without even looking for an open two. I don't know if it's kids trying to play hero ball or kids taking the "threes are better than twos" message too universally, but it really killed us. [/QUOTE]
