It's crazy to me that basketball analytics today see 3pt shot better than 2pt shot smfh. I will use the 3pt shot within offense, but give me the higher percentage 2pt shot any day
Thanks as always Ron! 50% more points is a lot..it’s a balance. Can’t shoot 3s for the sake of just shooting 3s, but don’t embrace it as a heavy part of your offense and you’re putting your team at a big disadvantage IMO.
Cole the analytics don't say all 2 point shots are not favored . What is favored is 3s or shots at the rim. The ones to avoid are the mid to long range 2s and Pitino just said that is what they have been practicing so Rick is going against analytics.
I’d counter that the analytics probably change a lot when we’re talking a wide open 3 pointer compared to RJ taking a contested layup against multiple defenders but I agree that most say the mid range shot is the worst shot in basketball.
U guys STILL need to not worry about Pitino’s reputation OR ego! Pitino is NOT a good in-game coach AND, his substitution abilities are NON-EXISTENT. There are no rhyme or reasons for his substitution choices. Kudos to u both regarding ur Zuby comments--he is BY FAR St John’s top player and could evolve into a 9th or 10th man on an NBA squad. He brings energy, hustle and intellect to the court and he’s got GREAT hands. He needs work but I can see him getting drafted in 6/26. Zuby is the best and most important player followed by the unsung Scott, Smith and either Luis or Witcher. Richmond STINKS! He shouldn’t be in the floor. No way he should be taking away mins from Smith or Witcher. He’s the most overrated athlete since Ron Bloomberg! Luis has great potential but he is not a smart player. Like Richmond, he forces WAY too many drives to the hoop and, for some reason, refuses to dish to the corner for wide open 3s. He missed Dunlap 3-4 times last night. All in all, the Redmen look impressive. I believe they can be a 3-seed come March Madness.

Thanks for waiting Tom! 🎉🎉
