What is Tyrese Haliburton's Solution to Pacers' Shooting Woes?

Pacers fan Pat McAfee, curious as to how the Pacers will fix their shooting slump, simply asked Haliburton, "What does that come down to?"

Haliburton explained how Indiana would find the bottom of the basket in a relaxed but assuring tone. 

"Keep shooting," Haliburton said. "Law of averages, shoutout to all my math teachers. I understand, you know, if things aren't going well for a little bit, they'll go better and then we'll average out."

Ironically, for as much criticism Indiana takes regarding its dip in offense, the Haliburton-led team has a respectable percentage from 3, at least from a league average. Shooting 37 percent from 3 ranks the Pacers 11th in the NBA. However, despite their high-paced reputation, the Pacers aren't getting up enough shots.  

Indiana ranks 26th in 3-point attempts at 32.8. While the Pacers' offense appeared cutting edge last season, the league not only passed the hyper-efficient offense but left it in the dust. Regarding the Pacers' lack of shots, pace has much to do with the issue. 

The Pacers fell to 17th in pace, and much of that has to do with Haliburton's confidence in his shot and the offense in general. In many respects, Haliburton took a back seat as Bennendict Mathurin has emerged as a legitimate scoring option for the Pacers. 

Haliburton is semi-correct in stating that the Pacers need to keep shooting. However, the problem derives more from the necessity to shoot more rather than only focusing on the percentages. 

Haliburton's math teachers may not call the star point guard for any pressing answers for their current students, but at least they can appreciate his understanding of the importance of basic math.
