worth naming - among the suns volume shooters for the 3, here’s the percentages of the 6 guys who take over 3 a game - 40.4, 43.5, 47.5, 52.2, 38.3. not counting beal yet, but assume he will be near or over 40 also. the 38.3 is yuta, which i expect over 40. suns at 39.3 as a team (on 33.2 shots), and seems like we have reason to believe that number should rise.

now, compare to the houston rockets who won 65 games and pushed the KD warriors to the brink- they took 42 3’s a game and their top shooter was 38.6. harden and gordon were at 36. 36.2 as a team, on 42 shots. no wonder the high variance.

compare to big 3 nets, and you have more favorable - 40.2, 47.5, 45.0, 41.2. 39.2 as a team on 36 shots. seems like this shot profile is enough to be devastating given midrange shot-making.

in modern nba, 73 win warriors highest ever at 41.6. next 2 years they were 38.3 and 39.1, but on like 31 shots a game.

also of note, suns right now right there for highest team ft% of all time, on 4th most ft attempted per game this season.
