Corner 3s

[Hartsock]

Marvin is, or was at least, a very good corner shooter. I dont ever see him there on offense though, always on the wing. He needs to stay in spots he will succeed.

If Al wasn't around I'm sure there would be a much better flow in the offense and we'd see a lot more corner 3's. I don't think anyone would be complaining about Marvin because I think he'd do a LOT better. And I think we'd have a lot more wins and less gripe about Corbin. Maybe all of our problems are stemming from Jefferson... We better not resign him next year.

We need to sign Korver.

**** Korver!

Missing corner 3's probably lead to more transition baskets than any other shot on the chart. When you're a top shelf defensive team like Miami or San Antonio you can afford to take them - Utah can not.

Actually, the first article linked says that is not true. The stats say it does not even matter what percentage of them you make, just that you shoot enough of them. Not sure how to explain it, but thats what the stats apparently say.

Does it? To be honest I zoned out about half way through the first article. Anecdotally speaking I find that very hard to believe - especially if it is a back court player attempting the 3.

As for The Jazz, Foye seems much more comfortable shooting from the top of the key as opposed to in the corner. And Hayward has this very confounding problem with not being able to jump straight up and down when shooting from the corner. Which causes a lot of his shots to sail from that area.
