If I have a player who is 80 or above, I will put him at 0. The only reason I would go +1, is if he was one of those rare birds that have a red 1 LP, and a 85 or above in PER. If he's more efficient at hitting 3's than he is at taking non-3 pointers, then put him at +1. So unless you are just trying to set a 3 point scoring record, and winning is more important than your stats, 0 is as high as you need to put your settings.
I respectfully 100% disagree.
I do agree that not taking 3s will get you fouled more. And getting fouled is great for many reasons.
But having a dominate 3pt shooter is a huge weapon to have. Especially if that guy comes off the bench. I love having a guy come off the bench and go 6-12 from 3. You can get a lot of points really quickly.
And as for efficiency, you need to account for the fact a 3 is worth more than a 2. You gotta look at the effective FG%. If you could have an eFG% of 60% instead of 50%, why wouldn't you do that?
