Context is important; We can’t wide open 3’s

The Cutoff for an overall decent to really good 3 pt shooter is 35-38%.

Now for “Wide open 3’s” 6+ft you better be shooting min. 70% on open 3’s.

The Lakers are shooting 22.9% on wide open 3’s.

That’s a HS or D-3 school bereft of shooting. Shouldn’t be an NBA team.

Caruso and Kuz are sub 33% on 3’s. At best.

Schroder is bad as well.

Average to the mean. Never as hot as your hottest streak ditto when you go cold. It evens out.

The Lakers were good at recognizing the problem and sang the right notes about it being a problem.

And like most FO’s they didn’t solve the problem they tried to mask flaws with defensive versatility.

There’s no reason not to have both. Or try the r try. Front office really didn’t try.
