Quick and dirty conf games
I sorted 3p% descending
I sorted 3pa descending
Then I multiplied the top % by the top attempts and worked my way down
It works out to 30 points more , which is about 3% increase in how many points they have actually scored overall in conference games

Actual 72.3 pf 77.8 pa
2 more points a game makes up 36% of the gap

Obviously not perfect
But we distributed the same numbers of shots according to who is actually good at making them...well, we would still stink. But we would stink a lot less

33% vs 37%

most of that increase is coming from carlos and davis, who are both shooting over 40% but an a very limited number of threes, but its also not guaranteed their numbers would hold on a greater volume. even if they were as accurate as the team average of .341%, there is still over a 30% chance both of them (independently) could hit over 40% based on their number of attempts.
