BERKELEY, Calif. — Long after the Nuggets had finished Monday’s shootaround at the University of California’s Haas Pavilion, Trey Lyles was still on the floor.
He sank between five and 10 attempts from various mid-range spots and around the 3-point arc. Then he moved on to at-the-rim finishes with both hands. He then finished shooting free throws This has long been Lyles’ daily shooting routine that sharpens technique and builds confidence. And it’s contributing to terrific results, as Lyles entered play Monday with 11 consecutive double-figure scoring outings and ranked second in the NBA in 3-point field-goal percentage at 46.
