Jazz the best 3-pt shooting team in the league?

It seems like many, if not most, of those shots are wide open. Jazz aren't really jacking a three early in the shot clock. If the scheme holds, our percentages shouldn't drop too much.

Additionally, young players that add a lot to their game traditionally struggle earlier in the season (see Hayward, Gordon.) It is one thing to add new moves. It is another thing to polish them against true NBA defense. Lyle swill come around, especially as the starter and bench roles become more stable.

I fully expect Lyles to be in the mid to upper thirties by the end of the season. There's just no way that Johnson stays at 54%. He'll come down at least to 45%, which is unbelievable shooting. Hood will come down as well from 48%. Will Exum stay at 43%? Ingles could get better, and so could Lyles. What will Hayward shoot from three? As you've said, the shots are open, so I fully expect us to be in the top throughout the year.
 
Strange. You add guys that can shoot and your percentage as a team goes up.

We are definitely jacking up more 3s as well. I think I saw Hood take a contested 3 from 2 feet behind the line with about 15 seconds left on the clock vs. Philly. Snyder is really giving the guys freedom to take bad shots. This ain't Jerry Sloan's team any more.
 
When you add a healthy Favors and Burks to this equation, things start to get dangerous for the rest of the league.

That is no ********, no hype right there. It is pretty obvious that we have arrived.

How are we going to defend LeBron in the Finals?

Hayward gonna make LeBron look a little old. LeBron is about 250 lbs. What does Gordon weigh these days? Maybe close to 240 lbs.?

No way Hayward is 240. I would say 225 max, probably more like 220 during the season.

Hayward is chiseled, but not nearly as thick as guys like Melo, LB,J, Artest, and other bulky SF's.

Thought I read that Hayward was up to 230 now.
