Good news bad news 3p shooting

[Millhouse]

Good news!
Our two shooters are shooting 42% from three in conference

Bad news
They only take 41% of three pointers in conference play

Remember when they talked about analytics

Maybe they could just get someone with a trac phone or access to a public library

 

[Orangezoo]

put together a nice NIL commitment and maybe Lykes and Hop will let you run analytics for them.

So, for context (open to all sorts of criticism, etc.):

Over the last four games, they have attempted 17, 27, 30, and 25 3PFG. That’s 99/4 games, or 25 3PFGA/game.

Given the provided percentages, if we have 25 3PFGA, our “two shooters” would, on average, account for 10 3PFGA and 4 made 3PFG.

But, if they took 60% of the 3PFGA, then they would, on average, be expected to make 6 3PFG. That is +6 points!

Going a little further, if they took 70% (72% to be exact=18 shots), then they would, on average, be expected to make 7.5 3PFG. That is +10.5 points!

It’s an interesting thought exercise to say, “What if…?” And the above is an imprecise illustration attempting to answer that question. At the very least, it is another opportunity to ask the other, and much bigger question: Where is the coaching?

Thanks Millhouse, this was a welcome distraction for my Wednesday afternoon!

Great news for 3 point shooting threads. MH hates shooting.

I hear every time we make a three, that player gets a kiss on the cheek.

they're choosing to be terrible
the low hanging fruit is not even hanging, it's in their hand already and they just throw it way

The other guys aren't shooting zero percent so it wouldnt be that big a difference. 2;or 3 pts a game

If they replaced the worst 3 point shot attempts the other guys take, maybe a little more

Thank you! I knew it wouldn’t be just a straight substitution, but I couldn’t get out of my own way when trying to calculate the actual difference. NOW it makes better sense to me!
