Hey guys, I dont want to be hard on him, because it is only pre-season and he has actually been playing really well, but too me it just seems like Sheed is relying too heavily on the 3 ball.  He has a lot of talent, can step back to create his own shot inside the arc, and can post up.  I went through the numbers and turns out he is shooting 13-39 from beyond the arc which is 33.33%.  Thats not bad, and it forces teams to be honest and play him when he is behind the arc.  This spreads the offense and opens up the lane for Rondo, meaning that opposing point guards will have to stay on him, making it much harder to double team when both he and wallace are on the floor.

Obviously Wallace shooting the 3 has its positives, and the Celtics have never had a big guy who can spread the floor like he can.  But with that said, i think 39 three point attempts in 6 games is a little excessive.  Thats 6.5 a game, roughly the same amount that Ray allen shoots.  Also, he has only taken 67 total feild goal attempts, which means that well over half of his shots are coming from behind the arc.  Again, compare this to Ray Allen, who takes roughly 1/3rd of his shots behind the arc.  

I am not questioning Wallace's ability to shoot the 3, but i think he is rellying on it too heavily.  He has a lot more to offer to this team, and unless his legs are shot, i dont understand why he is hanging out behind the three point line so much.  I would like to see him causing havoc down low and disrupting defences more often. Again, spreading the floor obviously has it's benefits, and this is only pre-season, but i would love to hear other people's thoughts on this.  Thanks
