“We are excited to have Peter Patton join us as full-time shooting coach,” Carlisle said. “He played high school ball with Michael Finley and was a great shooter at DePaul University. Peter was the full-time shooting coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves last year and initially developed his craft under Chip Engelland of the San Antonio Spurs. We welcome Peter to Dallas.”
After joining the Wolves’ staff following the 2015-16 season, Patton helped Minnesota improve from 33.8 percent from beyond the arc in 2015-16 to 34.9 percent in 2017 and 35.7 percent in 2018. Most notably, big man Karl-Anthony Towns improved to a 42.
