7 of 9 on treys from the sides - perfect NBA analytics

[auburnmarquette]

7 of 9 on three-pointers from the side, and excellent shooting from within a few feet of the baskets. At the mit sloan conferences with Nate Silver and the rest of us needs, all the NBA guys stress you ideally only want to shoot 3-pointers from the side or get to the rim to get fouled or hit the short shot. Our shooting chart from last night should be exhibit A. Very happy to see Cain hit to bust the 1-3-1.

The difference with that is that in college the corner 3 is the same distance as the top of the key 3, or any other 3. That's not the case in the NBA.
