Unlock the Secret Twist That Will Change Everything You Thought You Knew About This Story
Normally, one should be skeptical of a team that’s winning a lot of games because they’re hitting a lot of 3s, but given the acumen of Charlotte’s shooters, relying so heavily on such a volatile shot feels sustainable.

There are people who dislike jump shooting teams because they think it’s a lazy way to play the sport. However, what they miss is one of the hidden benefits of taking a lot of longer shots: more offensive rebounding opportunities.
Think about the physics of it all. The further away a player shoots from the rim, where it will go is less predictable, which, in turn, makes it harder for the defense to locate the ball. Few teams profit off this phenomenon more than the Hornets, who are fourth in the NBA in offensive rebounding percentage. Remember, the more second chance opportunities a team creates, the better chance it has with scoring (see the Houston Rockets).
