After a red-hot start to the season, the San Antonio Spurs have started to cool off some. Part of the reason is teams have made it their mission to slow down star Victor Wembanyama, with several teams succeeding.

That has increased the need for Wembanyama to take more threes, with him lagging behind the 8.8 3-point attempts he averaged last season. In fact, up until the last few games, he was not only seldom shooting threes but also clanking them, hitting on 23.
