Ryan, why is it so difficult to see?  A player that shoots 45%, but rarely 
hits threes and rarely goes to the line is less efficient offensively than a 
42% shooter who does hit a lot of threes and goes to the line a lot 
(although it would be better if he hit a few more of those).  I think that 
was the original point, although I could be wrong after the amount you two 
have written on the subject.  Why you singled this one statement out as 
being completely irrelevant is beyond me.

Jim
