NBA Three Pointers vs Two Pointers: Which is Better?

Math Easy Solutions

description

In this video my brother Mark aka MFA is back at it again with the NBA basketball video. This time he compares the total league 2-pointers and 3-pointers made and calculates their effective field goal percentage. League wide, the effective field goal % for threes and twos are both about the same at approximately 53%. However, these field goal % vary depending on the teams involved. MFA demonstrates this with 2 examples: the Atlanta Hawks and the Washington Wizards. The Hawks shoot 53.1% from 2 and an effective field goal % of 56.1% from 3, thus making 3-pointers more effective than 2-pointers. On the other hand, the Wizards shoot 54.3% from 2 and an effective field goal % of 51.3% from 3, thus making 2-pointers more effective than 2-pointers.

Thus, ultimately the choice as to which type of shot to focus on depends on which effective field goal % is higher, and this depends on the individual players, teams, and coaching schemes!
