Ever wonder why Scottie Thompson had a good 3 point shooting percentage in the bubble?

~snip~...

One thing i admire about Scottie Thompson is that he is brave enough to take the shot. That's is part of the opponent's game plan to leave Scottie Thompson open rather than Tenorio or Pringle which has a higher percentage than Thompson on that area. There's a saying "Pick your poison", i think that's it.

The case of Scottie Thompson is not different on that of SMB's Chris Ross. He is more of a defensive player when he came to SMB and have very low percentage on the outside but that all change when opponents always leave him open. His confidence is high shooting those 3's because there is a high chance that they will get the offensive rebound because of JMF15. It's just a matter of confidence.

Nice comparison there, and I completely agree with that, Scottie Thompson is younger and he is learning many things to improve his game. Chris Ross when starting was also not a good 3 point shooter, he just developed his game overtime and look how good he is now.

Scottie has a very decent number with 11.45 PPG, 8.82 RPG, and 6.36 APG

I think that data was on the last conference alone and I would say it's really a big improvement, he is almost an all around player, a little big short by westbrook's triple double but no doubt a better team player than WB.
