We shoot about 20 a game. Our opponents are closer to 25 a game. We are 259th in three's attempted per game. That's pretty far down the list. We have some problems but shooting too many threes is not one of them.
Purvis and Jackson are the biggest culprits to this point. Both have high usage and take a lot of shots, and both have been shooting below 30%. Purvis in particular has been the biggest issue. Hard to call it a slump after 11 games.It's both.
We're 159th in 3PA per field goal attempt (which is a better stat since it is a possession rate not a game rate), which is slightly above average, not "far down the list" at all.
But we're 325th at making 3's at 29.2%. That's worse. That equals .876 points per shot. Which means we should be shooting far less, since we make 47.7% on our 2s and that's 0.954 points per shot. (For the record, both these numbers are bad).
Seriously, a 6 % increase in 3's to 35% prob changes the way our season looks at this point.
