Explaining Marcus Morris’s three-point shooting surge

During the Detroit Pistons‘ recent 5-2 stretch, Marcus Morris has looked like the 2015-16 version that endeared him to Pistons fans. Like most of his teammates, Morris has seen an offensive surge in the past seven games. In Morris’s case, the surge is largely a product of much improved three point shooting.

In 2015-16, Morris shot 36.2 percent on three-point field goal attempts, a number that’s very close to his career average. Through the first 15 games of 2016-17, though, Morris struggled, shooting just 31.8 percent from behind the arc. During the Pistons’ recent 7 game stretch, Morris has looked like his old self, shooting 38.
