I'm surprised this thread isn't closed. It's gonna be such a lightning rod of controversy as the season goes on.

Why is it they don't use the adjusted +/- in game then as well?
I think it's far more indicative of the way someone played that particular night, as opposed to how everyone else played while they were on the floor.

Misconceptions About Bargnani's Three Point Shooting
Out of people who have taken at least 100 attempts on the year, Bargnani(36.2% three point efficiency) doesn't even rank in the top 60 for three point percentage. Kevin Love(43.7% three point efficiency) and Matt Bonner(49.5% three point efficiency) are light years ahead of him.
To Andrea's credit however he has been begun walking away from the three point shot steadily as his offense in other areas has been improving:
Percent Volume of Three Point Shots
Season 1: 42.9% of field goal attempts
Season 2: 36.0% of field goal attempts
Season 3: 30.4% of field goal attempts
Season 4: 28.4% of field goal attempts
Season 5: 19.6% of field goal attempts
Just as a reference, in Dirk Nowitzki's fifth season 22% of his shot attempts were from beyond the arc.
The point of this is that we need to start looking at Bargnani's offense differently. He's no longer a three point chucker. His offense has become far more sophisticated and I think as time goes on the three point shot will become nothing more than a tool to keep defenses honest.

now, if we could only see the same kind of evolution in the rest of his game
