I mean they all were bad last season too and the season before that. Have they not been able to generate good looks for 3 years now?

Seriously, have you seen Anthony Edwards and D'Angelo Russell play basketball? Do you not understand the types of shots these guys take? If you're just going to cite 3FG%, there is no conversation to be had here. If that's all you're going to do, you're gonna have to stand by that in every instance and completely disregard the context and quality that players shoot in. If that's what you want to do, than you do you. I'm not going to completely disregard the context of a shot.
 
It sucks that Wiggins decided to sign that extension rather than testing free agency this offseason. He would have been my number 1 target and such a good fit.

well i mean who is watching every shot of every player and writing down the context of each shot to keep a record. going off percentages is fine.

Their FG% and TS% aren’t good either lmao. By what metric are they good shooters? In theory if they took better quality shots?

Also, have you seen the shots steph takes? he takes so many extremely difficult "bad' shots. his percentages good doe. Same with jordan clarkson. Same with many many other high volume good shooters with good percentages.
 
Damn, Don probably won't play against Rudy on Sunday because of his ankle.

You don't have to watch every shot of every player. You need to watch like 5 minutes of Anthony Edwards and D'Angelo Russell to understand the types of shots they take.

3FG% alone is a horrible, horrible way to judge shooting. You need context. Royce O'Neale is not a better shooter than Damian Lillard despite having a better career 3FG%.
