More than 20% of the Nuggets’ season is in the books, so it’s fair to draw some conclusions and take the data from this sample size at face value. And one thing that sticks out is that despite an emphasis on three-pointers and better spacing, the Nuggets are still in the bottom 10 in three-point attempts per game.
Their offense is incredibly efficient, largely thanks to Nikola Jokic's brilliance, but if they can increase their three-point volume, there’s potential to become an all-time elite offensive juggernaut.
The Nuggets were in the bottom five last season in three-point attempts and made threes per game, despite shooting a high percentage, and it was clear they were losing hte math battle and leaving food on the table.
