Since the middle of the 2010s, bench shooting has been extremely inconsistent for the Indiana Pacers. Going back to the 2013-14 season the Pacers’ bench has finished 17th, 4th, 30th, 5th, 22nd, 5th, and 3rd in 3-point percentage. Teams typically try to have their numbers ascend year-to-year, not look like an EKG.
The last two seasons have been a key outlier. Indiana is still one of the few teams still failing to fully embrace the 3-point revolution, but their high conversion rate helps negate the lack of volume.
