 4th in the NBA at 11.2 makes per game.

 5th in attempts per game 31.2 per game.

 11th in 3p% .358%

 We did speculate that the shooting % and efficiency should go up with Turner and Sullinger gone. Well it looks like it did.

 There were a lot of people pre season saying we were a poor shooting team. The numbers say we are a good shooting team.

 Thoughts...

The thing is, come playoff time when defenses tighten up and they don't start falling like the last 2 years, then what? If we shoot well in the playoffs then I'll concede otherwise I hate seeing so many threes being put up because long term it's fools gold for us IMO.

I think those stats say it is unwarranted.  Doesn't make sense to be 5th in three-point attempts when you are only 11th in 3-pt%.

It's also a boring style of play.
