2022 NBA Draft: Detroit Pistons In Search Of —Shooting and Horizontal Space

While, the title of this piece is profiling “shooters,” it’s important to know what makes for a good, projectable shooter — it’s not the making but the shooting that matters. To put it another way, the most important thing I look at is three-point attempt rate.

Three-point attempt rate measures what percentage of a player’s offense are shots taken from three-point distance.
