Message: [QUOTE="Niastri, post: 4272310, member: 722"] Well, if Williams or Taylor/Bunch can hit 35% or better, opposing coaches will take Edwards one on one over giving the forward or Girard open threes. Edwards gets a very high shooting percentage because a lot of his shots are dunks. If he's playing closely guarded by a big man, I bet it's closer to 50%. Plus, it's harder for him to get offensive rebounds of his own missed shots in the post than off missed threes by one of his teammates. I think you guard Edwards straight up and make him beat you, rather than risk a rain of threes. It takes longer to get to 20 points 2 at a time than 3. :) If none of the forwards can hit an open three though... Yikes we're in for a long season. [/QUOTE]
