Over the past 168 games, Westbrook ...

(Or the past three seasons counting the start of this one), has taken 824 threes, hitting on 28.6%, averaging almost 5 threes a game.

Can someone who's good at this modern analytics thing tell me how that makes for good offense in the modern era?

Using one player to prove a point just shows your lack of IQ.

The league average in 3Pt% was 35.5% last season. Mid range shots were 40%, with simple math that tells you that the 3 point shot is miles more efficient than the mid-range shot.

Sure, but Westbrook isn't the only player shooting below 30% this season at a similar or higher clip. Was just wondering what the justification is for inefficient 3P shooters to keep shooting that much.

I'm aware that the game is otherwise broken.

In other news, freaking Zach LaVine had 13 threes the other night, tying Curry's best game.
