As Timberwolves mull No. 1 pick options, three-point shooting is scarce
Georgia guard Anthony Edwards could be the top pick in the draft, but he shot just 29% from three-point range last season. (AP Photo/Marco Garcia)President Gersson Rosas promised a three-point revolution when he came to the Timberwolves a season ago, and he delivered on that as season ago. The Wolves were the third-most frequent three-point chucking team in the league with 39.7 attempts per game.
The main problem was that only 33.6% of those attempts went in, the third-worst mark in the league.
So as the Wolves set out deciding what they’re going to do with the first, 17th and 33rd picks of the Nov. 18 NBA draft, they’d like to find someone who’s going to help improve that mark.
