Indiana Pacers fans will finally enjoy modern basketball.
After five-plus years of a dated game plan, Nate Bjorkgren will usher the Indiana Pacers into the fast-paced small-ball era of the NBA.
In three preseason games, the Indiana Pacers averaged 42 three-point attempts per contest, hitting 34% of those attempts. Any guesses how many times the Indiana Pacers have attempted 42 shots from deep during a regular-season game in franchise history? Once. Only Once.
The first team in NBA history to average more than 40 shots per game from beyond the arc over an entire season was the Houston Rockets back in 2016-17.
