Are the Orlando Magic allowing too many threes?

The Orlando Magic have only played 11 games this season, and they have impressed with a 5-6 record. Their offense and defense look improved overall despite some rough patches, and the team is really working hard under new head coach Scott Skiles.

One stat stands out as a potential weakness though. The number of 3-point attempts the team has allowed.

The Magic are tied for the most 3-point attempts against per game at 28.2.

At first glance, that seems like an alarming stat. Three-pointers are very efficient shots, especially compared to midrange jumpers.

I collected various team stats from last season and put them in a spreadsheet.
