The other day, my Twitter pal CJ Marchesani (follow him!), who is an NBA Draft writer for The Stepien and a college basketball data analyst, was talking about “spacing” and “gravity” in regards to three point shooting. I thought it was an interesting discussion and I wanted to know more about how the Badgers did in these two specific fields last year...so I asked him.
Sure thing!
Spacing: A player’s ability to draw their defender out of the paint to the three point line
Gravity: A on-ball player’s ability to draw their defender to them and away from shooters
A balance of both is needed https://t.
