In response to Jeff2sf
Being serious for a moment, I do understand variance (which applies to all statistics, not just 3 point shooting), but it makes no sense to me that defense does not affect 3 point shooting. The difference between getting close enough to change a shot and not getting close enough is real. And closing time (not the bar kind) between the time a shooter receives a pass and the time you can get close enough to him to affect a shot is important. Indeed, logically, it would be more effective to play off a shooter if you have the quickness to close in and affect a shot than playing close and stopping him from taking it. Moreover, you are not as vulnerable to the drive.
