It's a basic tenet of modern basketball that the long 2 point jumper is the worst shot in the game. It isn't the "midrange" shot from like 8 or 10 feet, it's the jump shots from behind the FT line and almost to the 3 pt line that are just horrible.
It doesn't matter what the exact numbers are. If Player A only shoots 27% on 3s, he probably isn't making much more than 30% from a foot or two inside that. That's how shooting works. The thing with 3s is the 50% bonus every time you make one. If you shoot 40% from 3, you have to shoot 60% on the long 2 just to break even. If you shoot 30% from 3, you have to shoot 45% on the long 2 to break even. If you shoot 20% from 3, you have to shoot 30% on the long 2 to break even.
You should almost never take a long 2 point jumper unless it's late in the shot clock and the only good look you can get.
