That might actually be the right big move for them to make.
Has Vogel always been such a big "midrange" coach? Just thinking about the teams he's had success with, AD and LeBron live there a lot, and those Pacers teams had guys like Dvid West and Paul George.
I think that's one of the big things that did them in. In part without Grayson Allen for the series, Minnesota attempted 20 more 3-pointers in the series. For decades, Minnesota was way behind in the 3-point math, but Chris Finch turned that around. Phoenix has good (even great) three-point shooters in Durant, Booker and Beal but they just didn't take enough of them.
Our players are stubborn and always take the most inefficient shot in basketball (midrange).
Booker will pass up wide open 3s to take a heavy contested midrange at least 3-4x a game. KD same thing. I don’t know what the hell Beal be doing out there.
Just looking at career numbers....Beal should've been putting up 3s at Grayson's rate. 43% shooter but only put up 4 per game. Durant a career 39% shooter but has never averaged seven 3s a game. Booker probably was at or close to his peak volume/efficiency combo, though he could easily be doing more if he wanted to.
