3pt shooting watch - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

Luka has shot the 3 better since starting 9%.

KP takes too many stupid ass long 3's and has front rimmed the vast majority of them. There is a treat for anyone who wants to look at his shot chart this season.

Now look at last season.

My point is KP doesn't need to shoot from that far out. Can he hit some of those? Sure. But he's 7'3 he can shoot over anyone. Many of those super long 3s haven't been necessary imo.

That’s a fair point. He doesn’t have to shoot Curry threes to be open, because of his height. He was effective from deep last year, though. After comparing the shot charts, it looks like he’s started shooting the baseline three more, so there’s that at least.

Yea. Agreed. Keep mixing it up and get a little closer to the line on those 3s. It's not like they were way off line, it's just soo many hit front rim dead on. If he were a step or 2 closer his percentage would be way up
