212 9-25 1-7 8-9 3 19 23 12 7 5 17 27 TOTALS

he has 3 JS but half-decent IS (he's a PG). 25 shots in 212 minutes @ .360, I can live with.

While the defensive specialist jacks up 3s with 10 left on the clock.
that's all to do with offensive flow and experience across the five on court.

I'm not talking about rookies.

Shooting a 3 with 10 left on the clock when you're a less than average shooter and you have a player on the far side who is stupendous at it makes no sense. Unless you think you've suddenly been transported into the twilight zone.

2 problems here with your logic:

1. Can the average shooter guy get the ball to the stupendous shooter to begin with?? If he can't then the average shooter takes the ball...still better than no shot at all.

2. Is the stupendous shooter marked? If he is marked by another good defender, he might not be the best player to take the shot either. Its all about match ups.

There are 10 seconds left I said. 10. Neither you nor the stupendous shooter is paralyzed or petrified. Move. Pass to the guy next to you, he may not be stupendous but he's still better than you are. Or trip over your defender's leg and break your jaw in the proces. Just don't shoot.

He doesn't know his range is 12', he thinks he's great at threes - he only remembers the shots that go in.

Last time coach said to him "you're total pants at shooting threes, pass it to Reggie, he's great" he broke the coach's jaw and got traded to his current team.

That was not meant as an insult. I'm sorry if it seemed offensive. Thats the problem with the internet. I meant that your arguments and examples weren't backing up your assumptions - so shut up about it. As in stop arguing just for the heck of it and make some sense. Thats all.

And the coach of his new team lives in a bubble? Is dyslexic and thought Reggie Evans read Reggie Miller?

Look up Reggie Evans' career fg%. And stfu. Enough nonsense.


and did you think he never make shooting thrills like lots of your examples? And did you think shooting percentages here are comparable to the NBA(or other pro leagues)?

When a pro Baller is open, he sometimes take the shot, instead of passing to the dude who have a double team - sometimes it also helps to get the good shooter a bit space too.

Evans for example scored 15 points each game in college, don't look like a total nuthead to me ;)
