Message: [QUOTE="JonathanXIV, post: 4212519, member: 9217"] I understand and appreciate the observations, but I think they miss a key factor. Specifically, the role of the 3 point shot in today's game. Teams and coaches have come to realize that the 3 point shot is kind of a video game cheat code. Every possession has the possibility of 50% more points. Given how well so many players can shoot from the 3 point line, offenses are geared to getting open looks from behind the line. That's one reason why so many offenses are a version of pick and roll with kick outs to open shooters behind the line. In today's game it's about favorable one on one match ups, spacing and open looks from behind the 3 point line. [/QUOTE]
