We were 25th in 3PAs this year, we need to shoot more not stay the same

I've pointed it out many many times to all of you. Find a 5 that can shoot and this issue gets fixed, on top of replacing BI with someone who will shoot a few more.
BI and JV/Larry took 6.4 attempts per game. JV/Larry with just 2.6.
As a team we were at 33 a game.

Celtics shot the most at 43 a game. Porzingis and Horford are taking 5 and 4 attempts a game respectively.

Dallas was next at 40 a game.Grant Williams and PJ took 5 & 6 a game to Zion's none.Klieber was at 2. Our 4/5 combo are taking less than 3 a game, and there's are taking 8.


ZIon isn't going to take more 3's. We can't have our 4/5 combo take less than 3 a game. that's where the problem is, and it's why if you make a trade for say Murray and Jarret Allen, we still aren't going to jack up 40 3's a night more than likely. We can do better than 33, but it's not necessary to take 40. A few teams a year get to that level, and more often than not they die in the playoffs b/c you live and die by the 3, with the Warriors being the exception, and likely the Celtics being the exception this year.

37-38 is a good number for us with Zion.



Denver averaged 31 last year, and this year. You dont' need to shoot 40 a game to win a championship. They played the Lakers in the WCF, who shot 31 a game, and the Heat in the finals, who shot 35 a game.
