He shoots 8.0 2-pointers per game, so in a hundred 2 point shots, he'd get an extra 21.3 points from fouls. He also shoots 48% for 2 point shots, which means for 100 2-pt shots, he gets 96 points+21.3 from fouls=117.3

117.3>108, plus he draws fouls on guys.

Sheed, shoot the 2

That's some good analysis. I'm convinced. Another factor that would support your argument is that Sheed is not available to rebound his misses when he's outside the 3-point line. Also, missed 3's lead to fast breaks for the other team. Since Sheed is the one who is back, he'll be the one picking up the fouls.

It is such a fluid game isn't it?

I think these numbers are bogus.
If sheed shoots 8, 2pts at 48% per game + 1.7 for fouls = 48%x16+ 1.7=9.38 per game avg. Or it takes 10.66 games for him to score 100 pts. On 2s alone.
But if Sheed shoots .385% on 6, 3 pointers he nets, .385x18=6.9 pts on 3s only. Or 6.9+9.38=16.2 per game.
Now if Sheed takes 8+6 or 14 3s per game and shoots 50% which he will do in the playoffs he nets 21 pts. What if he shoots .75% on 3s [31 pts]? He's gonna kill the other team.
These are the questions we should be asking our children.

That's whack.

If he shoots 100%, then I would prefer he takes all 3's and gets fouled too. Preferably, he would then proceed to make the free-throw. That would eliminate the whole rebounding problem we have been having.

He is MUCH more likely to shoot 2 for 14 than he is 7 for 14.

Where's your faith baby? He and Bup-Bup were shooting .42% in the first half. You don't think they'll nut it up for the playoffs?

We both have issues that we know this, my bruddahs!
