why is this team shooting so many threes? Topic

in the two exhibition games the team shot 37 and 35 three pointers.  only one player (Neito) was set to anything higher than a zero.

both exhibitions were won, and i hit the threes, but can anyone tell me what might be going on?

play a triangle/zone.  the two teams played a minus one and a zero defense.

What was the setting for your guards?
10/1/2010 9:18 PM
neito was plus one and white was set to zero.

i can understand why neito shot so many, but why would white be shooting threes at that rate?  dunno.  just 72 threes in two games were more than i was expecting.

The distros of your players is probably the reason. It looks like of your bench players Nieto is the only one with a high distro so he's taking a large percentage of shots and he's set to +1. Same goes for White in the starting lineup. Guards set to 0 tend to take the majority of their shots from 3, probably as much as 75% unless they have freakishly good LP, somebody like Hughes would fit in this category.

Well your two SGs took 46% of your shots in game 1 and 57% of your shots in game 2? Your opponent in game 2 has 9 freshmen. You played uptempo against the Press.

the guards were high distro, do you see another player that you would add high distro to?  i was thinking of adding more to mkkoan.  
10/1/2010 9:40 PM
I'd give both McKoan and Courter higher distros both should be able to score pretty efficiently at D3.
10/1/2010 10:10 PM
.i mainly played uptempo to get more players into the game.
