Josh Smith's career three-point shooting numbers:

Year	3PTM	3PTA	3PT%
04-05	4	23	17.4
05-06	34	110	30.9
06-07	38	152	25.0
07-08	25	99	25.3
Career Avg	25 1/4	96	26.3

Yikes. Is this the year Smith gets it? Is there anyone within the organization that can convince him he's killing his own effectiveness and the team's offense by taking a shot he can't make at least once a game?

I think he is going over. Consistency on offense is the key to this question. If they can consistently run good plays and get good shots, then he can probably figure out that that works better than 3s. But breakdowns in offensive execution are going to lead to smith thinking he can/needs to do this.

I’m predicting about 90-ish attempts from him, a marginal decline. But I have no doubts that Mike Bibby and Flip Murray will help carry the load of questionable jumpshooting.
