Our challenge for Sam Dekker is to shoot 37% or better from three-point range this season.
The reason that this is Dekker’s challenge from us is due to the decline in his three-point percentage since his freshman year at the University of Wisconsin. For that season, Dekker was 39% on 3.7 attempts from behind the arch. His attempts per game stayed within a few decimals of that number until he was drafted, yet his percentage fell to 32.6%, then came back up slightly to 33.1% for his last season as a Badger. During his first season in the NBA, Dekker played just 3 games and did not attempt any threes during his time on the court.
