BOSTON --- Thad Young is averaging 3.3 3-point attempts per game, the second-highest total of his career.
This is less a reflection of Young wanting to become the next Steph Curry and more a reflection of him doing what his coach has asked.
“Those are the things our staff encourages. They encourage us to take threes and layups, I think that’s the type of league that we’re in now, a 3 and layup-type game. No long twos and less on the post-ups and stuff like that because it slows down the game or it stagnates the offense,” Young said following shootaround.
