From what I understand, the corner 3 is the highest percentage 3 point shot and is integrated into the offensive game plans of many (if not most) team in the NBA. I don't know how many times I've sat in the ESA and watched team after team torch us on corner 3's, particularly the drive and kick corner 3's. I was listening to an interview with the Portland coach before the game last night, and he says they have an explicit strategy to kick offensive rebounds out to the corner for a 3 point shot, as this is often open with people collapsing to get the rebound.
Yet, I don't see any evidence that the Jazz have done anything to incorporate the corner 3 into its offense. Most of the 3's the Jazz take, appear to be from the top of the 3 point line or off to the angle of the 3 point line. Is my observation correct? If so, what's the apparent reluctance of the Jazz to incorporate the corner 3 into its offense and actually run plays to generate it (as other teams do)? It seems such an obvious and effective strategy, and it is puzzling that the Jazz seem to refuse to embrace it.
