Jeopardy Question

[fishonjazz]

Yeah, because I clearly said that.

I didn't say you said anything. I asked you what your plan would be.

How would you use Burks? How is he getting these three point attempts you want for him? Is he playing like klay does? Beal?

Do you think the jazz win tonight of Burks takes 3 three pointers?

Dude, holy ****. It's not a 1 game problem. Have you not been reading?

It's a compound thing. Every game Burks continues to show his reluctance to take a 3 point shot, the more the scouting reports allows for teams to hurt our spacing. This is a long-term issue.

And as far as do we win if he takes 3 of them. Maybe? Who knows. Maybe he makes 3 in a row and gives us a complete energy shift. Maybe those 3 he makes changes OKC's defensive game plan and it results in some easy dunks for cutters. It really is a terrible question that is pointless to ask.

This will definitely be something to keep an eye on going forward.
Good thread cy

Ya. I will stop discussing things with ya. Sorry for the dumb questions

I would use Burks in the same way we are using him, just hey, you know, take some of those open 3 point looks you get from time to time. Maybe I would design a play for Burks (one that I would be certain that would result in an open 3 for him) and tell him "You are shooting this 3 or I'm pulling you. I don't care if you make it or miss it".

Good find. Does that account for free throws as well?

Just FGA, I'm not sure how to incorporate FT's into the equation because I don't know where I could find a statistic about how exactly a FT was earned (on a 2-point attempt, 3-point attempt, technical, etc.).

We can logically assume though that Burks gets to the line more on 2 point attempts than 3 point attempts though right?
So that would definitely effect the numbers somewhat in the favor of point per 2 point attempt. We just don't know how much

Of course but even if you assume all the FT's were a result of a 2-point attempt (which obviously isn't fair, especially considering and-ones) the points per 2-point attempt goes to .99 for last season. Still lower than point per 3-point attempt at 1.14

No it wouldn't because you don't take a 2 point attempt when you go to the FT line unless you get an "And-1" in which case the scored point is included in the point per attempt calculation.

You could also assume that shooting more 3 point attempts could increase his amount of FTA because it would cause teams to close out more aggressively. Basically the things you are arguing isnt necessarily true. We aren't asking Burks to take 8 3pt attempts a game.

Last year Gordon Hayward took more 3 pointers in 1 season than his entire career and got to the FT line more. The two stats arent mutually exclusive.

4-5 sounds right and he should take just as many 2's. The thing is he can't score more by driving more but he can score 20 a night if he shoots more 3's. Any night where Burke outscores Burks we are probably going to lose. Hayward, Burks, and Hood are going to have to carry the offensive load.

I didn't read any responses, but Burks should take more threes. There's really no question about it. It is a big part of the game that he's quite capable of. Not only would it help the team with spacing, but it would also help his own offensive game by drawing defenders, which expands his options and makes driving and finding the lane easier.
