Is it possible that the highest percentage shot per value isn't the corner 3, but instead the layup in transition?
Is productive pace better than court spacing as a philosophical concept?
Is this how you beat the Warriors?
Sounds like a very fun experiment, with an LBJ at the peak of his powers, to run.
Curious if some of the gurus on here know the answer to this. | you're asking the question in the wrong way.
The answer is, nothing beats a layup with no defenders around. what could that percentage be for a nba caliber player? 80%+
It's not that its better than floor spacing and a corner 3. It's that its the easiest score in the game along with it being a super quick score.
Do the math.
If i grab a board, and I score a layup/dunk on a fast break within the first 10 seconds of the shot clock. vs moving the ball around for 20 seconds on the shot clock. In essence I could say I would hit two of those layups/dunks in the same 20 seconds you hit one corner 3. 4 points vs your 3 points. I'm up 1. You keep pushing that down the timeline and you can easily see the numbers will add up in the fast break layup's favor. |
