Why dont we shoot 3s? 

Post#1 » by AAU Teammate » Wed Jan 6, 2010 12:51 am

"dont" or "cant" i suppose could be the issue

Granted we are not shooting them at a good percentage, but still...historically guys like Hinrich, Miller and Salmons have been able to hit them. Deng is now improving in this.


We rank 30th in 3pt attempts per game.

No one on this current roster can't shoot the three efficiently on the consistent basics so far this season which is the problem so far this season until they solved which seem like unlikely.

Some players are shooters and some just suck at sports.

I commend Kirk for not being afraid to jack up threes off Rose's passes. Just step into it and let it fly.

He's a career 38% shooter, and he's currently at 36%. Honestly, that's really all I want him shooting right now.

Just camp out at the three-point line, and let them fly on kick-outs.

But we make up for it by being good at 2 pointers right?

Nope, 29th in 2pt FG% :uhoh:

As bad as we are at threes, it would still be better for us to shoot more of them.

No #7...................thats why. He was a floor spacer, a threat whether he makes em or not,he was a threat,which is why I dont understand the signing of Pargo.

I was so excited in Preseason. The Bulls had another player who was a catch and shoot 3 point guy...

Then, they waive Byars like they didn't need to another 3 point shooter/maker.

:(

Morris Almond or Desmon Farmer can help now.
