The article discusses the growing importance of computer analysis of shooting form in basketball (eg, degree of arc that works best for a player).
The paragraph re Brook is below. Its a bit ambiguous so I might have overstated but seems like computer identified that Brook should be shooting more 3s.
"It was during Noah’s demonstration with the Brooklyn Nets a few years ago that Carter discovered a solid 3-point shooter hiding in plain sight. The data suggested this player had a consistent shot and should be taking more 3-pointers. But the reality clashed with that data. This player wasn’t taking any 3-pointers at the time. As it happened, Carter was prescient: Brook Lopez has suddenly become that solid 3-point shooter."
