🚨 STICKY WORDS Sunday 🚨 HOOP = HELP ~ 27% of High School possessions, have no paint touch and no reversal. ~67% have 0 ball reversals + 1 paint touch. MOVE THE NEEDLE ON THIS. Quality 3PA = Catch and shoot 3PA. Quality increases in 3 foot increments: 0-3 feet - CONTESTED 3-6 feet - SEMI CONTESTED 6 feet + - UNCONTESTED The quality of 3PA's is LARGELY determined by how well you transition, and paint touch frequency. This means that it is a PAIRED ANALYTIC; heavy correlation with one or more stats. HOOP = HELP SPACE = SHOTS No surprise that the 2 most analytically driven teams in the NBA, Boston and OKC, have done this better than anyone in the last 4 years. Both teams are also on the lower end of organized offense rate. The simple teaching points at younger levels: - less scheme = higher quality 3PA - use one or two triggers that enable paints touches at higher % - master transition/secondary transition
