Yes he does. If you cut something 6 times you make 7 pieces
There is a not so well-known theorem that solves this problem.
The theorem is stated as follows:
"Each angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side into segments proportional in length to the adjacent sides" (Coxeter & Greitzer)
This means that for a triangle ABC, where angle A has a bisector AD such that D is on the side BC, then
BD/DC=AB/AC
Here either
BD/DC=6/5=AB/AC, where AB=6.9,
then we solve for AC=AB*5/6=5.75,
or
BD/DC=6/5=AB/AC, where AC=6.9,
then we solve for AB=AC*6/5=8.28
Hence, the longest and shortest possible lengths of the third side are
8.28 and 5.75 units respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:
He made 11 (2 pt. shots) & 6 (free throws)
11 x 2 = 22 points
6 x 1 = 6 points
17 baskets totaling 28 points
