Trevor Ariza is shooting 33.1% from three point range on 7.0 attempts per game this season.

It's basically established that once the defense becomes set, expected points go down dramatically. Shooting an open 3 with 20 seconds left on the clock is likely a better possession than a half-court offense. It's also a possession that doesn't require Harden to work, which is always a bonus.

 

Nope, not fewer offensive rebounds.

More.
