There’s an assumption that a player being able to shoot a three pointer automatically results in the floor being spaced. But too often those assumptions are based on if __ is true, then __ must be rather than, you know, actually testing the hypothesis.
So Andre Drummond shooting a three pointer is approached with the perspective that he might not even need to be a league average three point shooter, because his threat to shoot would help his teammates. It’d draw his defender away and create more room at the rim.
Ok. So how sound is this assumption?
