Interesting stat, but rather meaningless. Our problem this year is defense and rebounding, not lack of scoring options. Those who keep harping on our "missing" fourth scorer are missing the point.
To put this in perspective, Toledo was outrebounded by Houston (who plays small-ball lineups) 50-29. We were outrebounded by that same Toledo team last night 40-33. Most of those rebounds turn into second chance points and/or fouls against us.
Yes.
The main responsibility of C & H are rebounding and defense. Scoring is welcomed from those 2, but not their main responsibility. Last night they were not living up to their responsibilities. D wasn't bad, but their work and positioning for rebounding was atrocious....thus the results, 1 R.
percentages are usually not the whole story. And it's not just scoring that's inconsistent outside the Big 3, it's defense and rebounding. Plus, Edey was better at everything to TKR. Not a knock on TKR, how could anyone be better than Edey at those things given his POTY back to back seasons?
So you need to make up for that loss with either more from the Big 3 (hard ask) or more from the rest, less hard ask but so far mixed results. We have a feast or famine situation with a lot of our players outside of the Big 3. Don't need the feast as much as we need less of the famine.

The follow up question is what was the total average points for the top three for all the years....and of course the 4th top average. Along those lines if you added 10-12 points to the average total score and then compared the top three scorers...what percent might that be? All rhetorical questions
