Cold snap: Digging into Toronto’s shooting woes

The Raptors made a big trade in the off-season. They sent out DeMar DeRozan, their star wing who could not hit a three (31% success rate on almost four attempts per game last season) and Jakob Poeltl, their backup centre who attempted two long range shots all season long. They received Kawhi Leonard, he of the 38% career 3PT% (on nearly four attempts per game), and seemingly as a throw-in also got Danny Green, a career 40% 3 point shooter (on nearly five attempts a game).

Their three point shooting, which ranked 18th in the league (36%), should have been solved.
