How it works
- Empirically, teams need at least three players per lineup who can shoot 3-pointers at above-league-average volume and efficiency.
- This is not a soft preference; it is a hard constraint below which offensive production drops sharply.
- If only two are 3-point shooters, the opponent's defense has three players who can sag into the paint and help without consequence.
- With three 3-point shooters, help-defense becomes untenable; the opponent cannot sag three defenders into the paint simultaneously without leaving someone open.
- The three shooters do not need to be Stationary or Movement Shooters exclusively.
