Sorry to say it, but high volume low efficiency is overrated. Beasley averaged around 1.12 points per shot and Nowell was closer to 1.22 points per shot. That works out to about 10 less points per 100 shots. Forbes will need to be defended the same way Beasley was. If they leave him open he will punish them. Forbes is a 41.3% career 3 point shooter. He will space the floor just fine. He is a great Beasley replacement, just a little shorter.
It's not the same. Beasley was quite efficient. You can't count on a guy with low volume to match his low volume performance on higher volume. It doesn't work that way. Forbes was a nice get, but there's a reason Beasley was making 8 times as much.
I think you're blowing this way out of proportion. The last 3 years Beasley has averaged 8 attempts. He's at 5 for his career. PER 36, it's 9.
Forbes averages 4 for his career and has averaged as many as 6 (at 38%). PER 36 he's at 7.4.
Beasley took a huge jump last year in both his 3PAr and amount of 3s, but before that he was very similar to Forbes.
I'm referring to last year. Recency. Top 5 in the NBA in 3s made is a big deal. My understanding is Forbes is even worse on defense. I'm just trying to keep it real. You know I'm a very positive guy, but if you never acknowledge anything that isn't quite so rosy than the positivity becomes pointless. I don't think this is a big deal, but it is a deal.
