even teams that field a Curry or three barely take more than 15-20% of their shots from outside the arc - is the right move a slight hedge inside since teams can't really adjust offensively anyway?

I am not saying it works but I have a method. I look at the 3PA from the team I am facing and use this chart (as long as there is a large enough sample size)

0-3 = -3
3-9= -2
9-15= -1
15-21= 0
21-28= +1
28+= +2
+3 never

Like I said this is just what I do

Yeah Sam I'm almost identical with how I adjust for 3's. The only difference is I that if 3's are below the 15 range, I adjust downward based on paint %. So in other words, I wont go -3 on a team with few if any 3's if the rest of the team is heavy midrange. I'll only go there if it's heavy paint.

thanks for the responses fellas - did I hear or read somewhere that bumping down into the paint nudges rebounding?

In theory, yes. In practicality? I don't know. You should probably already have at least 2x the chance based just on your drb% vs their orb%, and whoever shoots the ball has a lowered orb% chance as well so... I'd legit never set it to minus to try and get more boards.
