Shootaround Report | Improvement From 3 And Injury Updates
On Wednesday, the Timberwolves made a franchise-record 20 3-pointers.
This isn’t exactly a fluke. The Wolves have made 11.1 3-pointers per game this season while attempting 30.6 per game. That’s up from 8.0 makes last season on 22.5 attempts.
One player who has been especially impressive from deep is Derrick Rose. Rose is shooting 46.2 percent from deep this season and was 7-for-9 in Wednesday’s loss to the Lakers.
“They’re giving me the shots. I’m just taking the shots that they’re giving me,” Rose said after Friday’s shootaround. “They are going under screens on the perimeter and it’s something I’ve been working on, not only this summer, but for years. It’s just now coming together.”
