There's really nothing about the Triangle that would stop a team from taking more 3's. It all depends on the players. We don't have a lot of guys who are confident taking 3's. As we add more players who are willing to shoot from 3 you will see the numbers increase. They've been trying to get Acy, Thomas and Jason Smith to take more 3's if anyone has noticed. The system relies on off ball movement and players have the freedom to cut thru and present themselves out behind the 3 point line. Guards can always take 3's and Shved has increased our shots from 3. Larkin has gradually gained more confidence taking 3's but still isn't exactly hoisting them up. THJ and Early have more confidence taking 3's. I think as the team improves we'll see more 3's as part of the offense.

having TD taking / leading the lead in 3's at 25% is an example where taking a lot of threes (and having TD on you starting team) is a bad idea.

Taking and leading the league in long 2's is the opposite extreme.

Both are bad.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

So Woodson in town and posting "I won 54 gams here"!
We took lots of threes. We had two surges that really ran the win total but we saw what happend in the post season, and the 37 win season that followed.
Remember FluTyson last year? Not pretty.
We cleaning house. Basically we can cry about Tyson trade or hope he got feeling better and we trade him mid year this season or be happy his cap falls off and we let him sulk. Dude would have preserved himself in a contract year.

We can always second guess a result once its known.
