When the Minnesota Timberwolves traded Trey Burke to the Utah Jazz for Shabazz Muhammad and Gorgui Dieng on draft night in 2013, the Wolves knew they were getting a proven winner in Dieng and a player that would need to develop his shot to play in the modern NBA.
Dieng played three seasons at Louisville and won a National Championship in his last season there, but in those three years he attempted just three three-pointers and none came in his final season.
Each year the NBA has been trending towards a three-point-heavy league, and players that rarely shot from downtown are starting to get more shots up each season.
