The Indiana Pacers don’t take many 3-pointers. In the Frank Vogel era, they have never ranked in the top half of the NBA in terms of triples launched per game, and they ranked as low as 25th in 2013-14.
When it comes to accuracy, they have fared a bit better, hitting a blistering 36.8% in Vogel’s first full year as a coach and north of 35% the past two seasons.
Such results suggest that the team probably should have been shooting more often from deep, particularly given the inefficient scoring of Roy Hibbert last year (and throughout his whole life) and David West’s inability to get easy buckets in the paint.
