THIS is good, interesting information.  Why you are posting it here with your argument about playing two bigs at once, I don't know.

I agree with the notion that the answer for most teams is not just to simply shoot more threes.  To me, it has to be analyzing all of your players points per shot attempt from different areas on the court.  And another part of this is when they miss, what is our chance of getting an offensive rebound?  Andre Jackson is generally the second best rebounder for us on the court in most cases.  So, if he is taking a three at 30.8%, that is .92 points per attempt, and he is out of rebounding position.  That's a bad shot for us.

It's also about what are your alternatives?  We have Sanogo and Clingan shooting 61% and 71% from 2.  That's simple math. GET THEM THE BALL.  I do believe that those percentages would go down if they played together.  The next most effective shots for most teams are drives to the basket.  High percentage layups.  We don't have guys that do that, so that's not an alternative FOR US.  For many teams with talented penetrators, that is a better PPA than fringe 3 pointers.  And obviously, the whole picture is a lot more complicated than this simple math.
