Message: [QUOTE="DogMania, post: 5144866, member: 21"] AK regularly takes and makes 3s from that distance. He just had a bad shooting night. Most of those were good takes within the flow, though probably should have faked more on a few of them and tried to create something for a teammate or himself off the dribble. He had a few nice takes to the basket and probably should have done it a tad more. He'll be just fine. I expect some monster games coming up and him playing huge when it counts most in March. I actually like how he and some of his teammates take 3s a foot or two beyond the arc. Many teams are coached to defend at the arc, so learning to let 'em fly a foot or two deeper where the shots are less contested is a good strategy and clearly seems to be taught and encouraged by the coaching staff. It also stretches the D to open up the middle of the floor for all sorts of opportunities. [/QUOTE]
