Adding the ability to hit threes was a great move that made Anthony Davis truly an all-around threat. This addition to his game was even more important when you consider how few three-point threats the Pelicans have had in recent years. It hasn’t come without its fair share of problems, however.
Last season, Davis took 134 threes, making just 40 of them. That’s a measly 29.9% from behind the arc. Still, the threat of the three gave the Pelicans some extra spacing and definitely made a difference in some games.
This season, things will be a little different.
