At RB's 6.0 3PA per game that comes out to an extra 0.5 made threes a game. That is 1.5 extra points per game and over the course of the season that can easily be the difference between 2-3 spots in the standings.
Well, and really, the "lead" of the story on those numbers is the influence they will have on how opposing teams choose to defend each player. The Mavs' goal isn't just for Bullock or other catch-and-shoot guys to make 3's, though that's nice. The REAL goal is to have defenders not leave them open, creating more space for Luka, Brunson and KP.
