A computer made Brook Lopez a 3 point shooter.

Yup, behind the WSJ paywall. Can you summarize the Brook Lopez connection?
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.

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."

Thanks! Brook was a good shooter at Stanford so I’m glad he’s gone back to it whether digitally suggested or not.
