Three point shots - the easy way out

We seem to have this mentality developing in basketball that if you are a great 3-point shooter or team, then you can afford to sort of neglect the other aspects of the game. "He doesn't defend much, and he can't rebound, and is not a great ball handler, but he really can knock down the three!" It really disgusts me the extent to which high school players are ignorant of all the little things that used to get taught to players that helped them win games. But you don't have to do those things now. Just make threes!

You still have to play the game. The whole game.
