One factor behind PJ Washington’s improved 3-point shooting

PJ Washington’s three-point shooting has been a big topic of discussion in recent weeks. In the last four games, he’s 8-11 from the three-point line, bringing his season average to 44.9 percent, the best on the team. That’s up from 23.8 percent last season.

Yesterday, Draft Express noted the changes in PJ’s shooting form, specifically a cleaner release compared to last season:
