21/45 (46.7%) @ Nets
Total: 329/742 (44.3%)
Per Game: 16.5/37.1 (1.33 points per possession)
League Average: 12.8/35.0 (36.6%) (1.09 points per possession)
Some notes:
We are allowing 7.7% above the league average from 3, on higher volume
Only one time in the last 20 games did a team shoot below the league average on 3pt% against us
In only 5 of the last 20 games did a team shoot below 40% from 3 against us
The best three point shooting team in the league does not average 40% from 3 (OKC - 39.4%).
During this stretch, the Jazz have a DRTG of 124.0 - good for dead last in the league by a mile. The next worse defense is the Raptors at 118.6.
The gap between the Jazz and the Raptors defense is greater than the gap between the Raptors defense and the 13th best defense.
I think this is the result of having minutes going to a combination of rookies and very bad defenders, but I am concerned about building defensive habits going forward. Especially since, ignoring the rookies, the three biggest culprits are probably playing Collins heavy minutes at the 5, and playing Clarkson and Sexton heavy minutes - period. All of them are under contract for the next two seasons after this one.
