I thought this excerpt from the LV Sun article was interesting. I hadn't heard this was a point of emphasis this year, but makes a lot of sense. As long as the 3's are in the flow of the offense, I say bombs away.
"The Golden State Warriors are the current prime example of the desired effect, but it’s been well discussed for several years now that good teams want to make their living on layups and 3-pointers. That means passing up the looks in between, sometimes even good ones."
"While Rice always wants his guys comfortable taking open shots no matter where they’re at, the emphasis on layups/3-pointer attempts has been laid out in the film room. This year’s leading scorer, Pat McCaw, is attempting two-point jumpers only eight percent of the time, down from his already conservative 17.6 last season."
