The whole thing is teams are now replicating the Golden State approach with bigger players.

Coby White - 37.6% (+0.4%)
Ayo Dosunmu - 40.3% (+9.1%)
Alex Caruso - 40.8% (+4.4%)
Nikola Vucevic - 29.4% (-5.5%)
Patrick Williams - 39.9% (-1.6%)
Zach LaVine - 34.9% (-2.6%)
Jevon Carter - 32.9% (-9.2%)
obviously great improvements from Ayo and Caruso but what the heck happened to Vuc and Carter??

Those numbers look exactly like what the numbers would look like if you had given the Chicago Bulls a shooting placebo, instead of coach Patton. Which is probably what occurred. If shooting coaches could actually do what they claim to do, they would be hugely valuable and would be paid far more than they currently are.

That's one truth. Another truth is that the 3 point percentages for Coby and DDR were only the tiniest bit better in 2024 than the year before, and were higher in both cases in 2022. Overall, the Bulls went from #16 in the league in 2023 with a 36.1 percentage to #20 in the league in 2024 with a 35.8 percentage.
If I were Coach Carter, I would not be asking for a raise.

As when Lowry hit a Knick upside the head while knocking the ball away from him, and after review that was called no foul, incidental contact? Man, that was a gift to the Sixers, and at a critical part of the game, too.
