The Portland Trail Blazers currently rank as the second-worst team in the association when it comes to catch-and-shoot three-point percentage (32.5), ahead of only the Indiana Pacers (30.1). To make matters worse, they rank in the top ten in attempts per game at 29.5.

Given the analytical importance of the three-ball in the modern NBA, the answer should be the latter.
