You should know better than to draw conclusions from a SINGLE observation. You need a good sample size. Furthermore 11/30 is 37% which is in no way awful. Better can be expected, but for a normal distribution there are outliers on both sides of the mean. This is probably a low outlier.

37% actually puts you well into the top third of all NBA players with at least 50 3PT shots attempts.

Only one team (Golden State) shot above 38% from three this regular season.

So what? Poster was complaining that the 3p% was a low number when it really is the avg of any good 3 pt shooting team in the nba not named the warriors who are the greatest regualr season team of all time.

When you have one game as a sample size you cant really make solid conclusions. Good 3 pt shootimg teams underperform in RL sometimes toi

Why don't you show us the correct sample size then? It's not that hard, go to www.buzzer-manager.com -> My League -> Statistics per team and post your season 3fg%. It seems to me that you are as much just making posts for unfounded whining as others are just looking to respond negatively (just to be clear I don't think either is true).

My team shoots just 27.4% on the season but I have an inside team. Other teams vary from 18.5% through 34.4%, so that's quite low. However, with teams being build around OD and IS (and defense rating in general being higher than offense rating), that could be just the expected outcome. I don't expect high % when you get 7 outside scoring rating vs 12 perimeter defense rating.

If you want a more complete analysis, also make an overview of the average of Perimeter Defense and Outside scoring ratings of the teams in your league (look up a team and select "Ratings" in the dropdown menu).

THEN you can make a valid point.

The same can be done if you would go to his teams page, press team stats and you will see his 3fg% :) It is 40,4 by the way :)

Yeah that's even easier. And 40,4% seems like a totally unbroken mark for outside shooting.
