high volume anything is not good. That’s called being a chucker. If you have to take a lot of shots to score a lot that’s not really that good.
he shot 32% last year and 36% from 3 this year I don’t care how you wanna try and slice it that’s not impressive
The bolded statement is untrue. If a shot is efficient, it's volume should be maximized. Doesn't matter who is shooting it. The most highly efficient shot is a 3pt attempt where a foul is called, followed by a dunk/lay-up, followed by a 3pt attempt. This is why James harden attempts 12.5 three's per game at a 35.5% clip.
So why doesn't Rubio shoot ten 3's per game since he shoots better than Harden? Because theres a difference between a player who takes an occasional spot up 3, and one who utilizes step backs and dribble pull-ups to generate these shots. If Rubio attempted this, his percentage would no doubt drop precipitously. It takes a special player to be able to hit these at an efficient clip. These types of shots also increase the likelihood that a player is fouled while shooting them.
Does this make the player a chucker? A "chucker" is a high volume, inefficient player. You can easily determine if a player is a "chucker" by looking at their true shooting percentage. The league average is about 56%. Trey Young's true shooting % is 59.5%. This is about the elite threshold, and better than guys like Bradley Beal, Kemba Walker, Kawhi Leonard, and Luka Doncic. So, unless a teammate has a dunk/lay-up or wide open 3 point shot from a good 3 point shooter, the Atlanta Hawks are better off having Trey Young shoot the ball.
