For Russell Westbrook, 3-Point Shooting is an Overrated Issue

Before the pitchforks come out and a coup is staged to remove me from Daily Thunder, I’ll say a couple things up front:

No, Russell Westbrook is not a good three-point shooter.

Yes, it’s bad when he takes too many of them.

I’m not here to paint a pretty picture around Westbrook’s efficiency from beyond the arc, as I’m not particularly interested in wasted exercises. The guy has a 24.7 percent conversion rate on nearly five three-point attempts per game this season. As my grandpa used to say, there’s no use putting lipstick on a pig.
