The Shootaround: The Importance of "Less is More" Buckets

Desmond introduces "The Shootaround" -- shorter episodes dedicated to niche subjects across the NBA. In this first edition, Dez discusses the importance of players being able to score in simple ways and analyzes whether or not increased spacing could potentially be the reason why it's become less popular to make the game easier for oneself. Ultimately, the episode is meant to make you think and consider different ways the game we love continues to evolve and adapt.
