I used FT's as an example. How about the 24 forwards in the league that:
-Played at least 1,000 minutes this season
-made fewer than 30% of their 3pt shots
If I'm allowed to look at all players (instead of just forwards) it jumps to 57 players. That's 20% of the guys with 1000+ minutes shooting in the 20%'s or lower. If 20% of people won the lottery, I would play it too.
Two follow ups:
- Kostas is 20. He has time to develop a mid-range jumper and his FT% will improve.
- No, Ben Simmons can't shoot. He has elite skills at getting to the basket and finding open players. He is incredible at those two things. Dude was 0-11 from 3 this year and sub 60% FTs. He will get better.
So now it's the "I know these 57 guys" theory.
