The Nets dig the long ball.
We knew this coming into the season, that a big part of Kenny Atkinson’s offensive game plan would be centered around the open three-pointer.
In four years before his starring role in this season’s Brooklyn rebuild, Atkinson was a top assistant with the Atlanta Hawks, who are two years removed from a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Prior to Atkinson joining the staff, the Hawks ranked 15th, 23rd and 10th in three-point attempts from 2009-10, through 2011-12. In his four-year tenure, the Hawks were always a top-7 NBA team from three.
