Texas Sharpshooter: What to make of Justise Winslow's summer

Justise Winslow averaged just nine points and two rebounds on 34 percent shooting in six Summer League contests. That looks really bad. It also looks really misleading. It also doesn't mean much either way!

The Texas Sharpshooter fallacy is a close cousin of the strawman. Both of these relatives love confirming their own biases and work in conjunction to breakdown the common enemy of nuance, a cousin who has been ostracized from the family.

Because in the incredibly educating and refreshing arena of 'basketball twitter' and social media in general, there are also dark alley's of stupidity and silliness who are inhabited by Texas Sharpshooters and strawmen that act as intellectual criminals.
