Season 3-point shooting numbers are looking brutal. It´s basically Maxi and a bunch of bad/mediocre guys.
Maxi 48% / 4.2 3PA
Burke 35% / 3.3 3PA
Richardson 33% / 6 3PA
Powell 33% / 0.5 3PA
Brunson 33% / 3 3PA
Johnson 33% / 1.5 3PA
THJ 33% / 8.2 3PA
DFS 27% / 5 3PA
Doncic 16% / 6.2 3PA
Mavs rank last in the league in 3-point percentage at 30.7%. 6th in 3-point attempts. League average is 36.1%.
That´s by far the biggest problem this season. Obviously a missed shot is a wasted possession but that´s not all. Worse spacing leads to less easy baskets in the paint. 3-point misses lead to more long rebounds, more transition opportunities for the opponent (fastbreak points, mismatches) and so on.
The Mavs lost Curry but that doesn´t explain why the entire team except for Maxi is shooting worse than last year and well below their career averages. The sample size is still small and the percentages will most likely go up but it is concerning that it isn´t about one or two players. That´s the usual hot/cold stretch for any shooter. The entire team is struggling.
