Points in the paint vs 3-pointers

No, I understood you perfectly. And when I had a chance to look at the numbers I saw the trick you pulled to try and make that true. The numbers - while somewhat encouraging - aren't as rosy as you make them out to be. To this point he's taken 58 shots from 16'+ (40.8%). So, actually, YOU are incorrect - there's no way that 70% of his shots can come from 0-15' if 40.8% have come from 16'+. The chart you're using doesn't even have 15' as a cut-off point, but assuming you meant 16', he's taken 58% of his shots from within 16' (like I said - somewhat encouraging). However, only 26.7% of his shots are near the hoop - nothing close to the 70% you're trying to use by lumping in his mid-range game.

As per usual, you're unable to understand what I said and why it matters and so you accuse me of a "comprehension problem" to avoid the issues in your post that I brought up. And because you're more concerned with making BS arguments and trying to "call me out", I'm done.

What about shots between 15' and 16'? lol

Sorry for starting this. All I meant to say was that most of LA's offense comes from midrange-out. He still has a back to the basket game and can draw double teams, but most of those possessions result in turnaround fadeaways (or jumpers for his teammates) rather than drives to the hoop. Not really a concern when we're hitting those shots, but obviously far less sustainable in the long run than a layup or foul shots.
