That 3pt % would put Mavs right in the middle of teams overall average 3pt % for the season. There are 15 teams that are shooting better 3pt average for the season. 7 teams are shooting better than 48 % on average for the season.
All of these just proves how much more reserve the Mavs have.
You quote me but not really respond to the quote. I specifically mentioned the scorers; although I forgot about Burke. Our "scorers" (the guys whose primary role is to get buckets) shot 47.6% from three (10/21) and 55.3% (26/47) from the floor in general. The scoring options were there, all working. May be the floor genral should have utilized them more rather than his own pull up three, which swung the momentum and forced Rick's hand to call a time out twice during the game.
The good thing is, Luka knew his shot selection was bad in both occasions (he raised his hand). When he hits a couple of those, he ends up taking too many. This was not one of his better games. But he's still only 21. In the end, He will be a much better player than this. May be he'll have less flashy stat lines in the future, but will produce better results called "wins". He is already progressing in the right direction.
