The wrong Wizards got the memo about shooting more threes this season
Photo by Nic Antaya/Getty ImagesDaily Digits is a new daily feature we’re doing at Bullets Forever this year where we take a look at stats about the Wizards. We’ll dive into the numbers, add some context, and discuss how they affect the product on the court.
Today’s stat is where the Wizards rank in 3-point attempts per game this season, which is...
11th
The Wizards were 23rd in 3-point attempts last season, averaging just 26.5 per game. Scott Brooks put a high emphasis on boosting those numbers this season and there’s no question it has had an impact. They’re attempting 32.9 per game this season as they’ve gone from a below-average team at 3-point shooting volume to an above-average one.
