The Zion Problem

Loco Hornet Fan said

My point is that I don’t think teams actually respect those attempts or alter their coverages based on them.

If Zion started attempting a few 3’s per game and only hit 19%, 1) fans would complain/go nuts and 2) opposing teams would sit back and let him take those shots.

I think you’re right though, we will probably just have to agree to disagree here (which is ok).

Not if you don't attempt any they don't... The percentage don't matter as much as the threat.... Hell - take a couple pull up 10 foot jumpers for christs sake... anything to vary your game and make a defense not know with 100% certainty what's exactly coming...

If Zion makes 11 shots in a game on 18 attempts... it's going to be 24 points... If SGA makes 11 shots on 18 attempts in the same game... It's going to be 34 points... this is just math, and we are doing old math that no longer works...

Time to move on...
