In the 2018-19 regular season, the Dallas Mavericks set a new franchise record, taking 3,002 attempts from beyond the arc. That’s more than 300 more attempts than the previous season, a growth in volume of over 10 percent.
Since the 2011-12 season, the Mavericks have increased the number of threes they take every year. Compare 2011-12 to 2018-19, and the Mavericks more than double the number of threes taken over the entire year, from just under 1,500 threes to just over 3,000.
The NBA game has really changed.
Those 3,002 attempts last season translate to 36.
