    17% of his shots are from 10-16 ft, 10.6% of his shots are long twos (16 ft+).

    So 27.6%. By comparison, Harden shot 22.5% of his shots from that range.

    Not such a big difference IMO.

    Harden has himself. Because that's who he's playing for when he's trying to get his numbers:rolleyes:

    You're not telling the whole story. Analytics are what told Morey jacking up a record number of 3's is acceptable. The Rockets have virtually no offense outside of James Harden

    That's not because of analytics, that's because Lawson who was suppose to be our secondary offense was a total flop.

    We have exactly one player on this team that is "great" on offense. The rest, for the most part, are average or below average offensive players.

    The fact that we were able to produce the 7th best offense in the league is a testament as to why it is acceptable to "jack up a record number of threes".
