An article in Grantland provides strong statistical evidence of something most of us suspected was already the case: the future belongs to NBA teams which move the ball. Written by analytics wizard Kirk Goldsberry, the article also clears up any doubts we may have had about the value of long two-point attempts, and whether three-point shooting is really important. To summarize: Long twos are bad, three-pointers are good.
Why this is relevant to the Toronto Raptors, and in particular to the future of DeMar DeRozan, is probably already apparent to you. DeMar is at something of a professional crossroads.
