Quote:While not quite a Curry-caliber shooter, Richardson made 38.6 percent of his catch-and-shoot 3-pointers in his last two seasons with the Heat, an essential skill next to Doncic. That number fell to a pedestrian 34.6 with the 76ers last season for an entirely explainable reason. Only 32.5 percent of his 3-pointers last season were wide open, according to NBA.com. In his final Heat season, it was over 40 percent. Philadelphia's poor shot-creation rears its ugly head yet again.
As I said upthread, sharing a backcourt with Ben Simmons probably really sucks as a 3 point shooter. Not a high level distrbutor and absolutely refuses to take any off the perimeter defense pressure off of his teammates. And he wasn't really playing with great PGs in Miami either when Dragic was hurt.
