The Phoenix Suns need to be a 3-point shooting team
The Phoenix Suns won their second preseason game of their four-game schedule, and in it showed just how potent they can be offensively if they hit their 3’s. This needs to be a regular season thing.
For the last few years, the Phoenix Suns have been one of if not the worst 3-point shooting team in the NBA.
Against the Portland Trailblazers, sans Ricky Rubio, Devin Booker, and Deandre Ayton, the team launched 3’s at a tremendous rate (45) and nailed a mind-blowing 53.3% of them.
Obviously, the rate in which they made them will not happen often (for reference, the Warriors shot 50% or above 13 times last season), so 50% with regularity is something that should never be expected.
