Darren Collison epitomized the Indiana Pacers 3-point shooting habits last season as he led the NBA in 3-point percentage (46.8) while only taking three of them a game. The Pacers 36.9 percent accuracy as a team put them 9th in the NBA but were ranked 25th in the NBA in total made 3-pointers according to Basketball-Reference.
For Collison and the team, they were smart and when and where to take their shots, but perhaps they were a little too conservative about that. The answer isn’t just chucking up more 3-pointers, but there’s certainly room to turn a few more shots from deep mid-range into possible 3-pointers.
