For the last few years, the Phoenix Suns have been one of if not the worst 3-point shooting team in the NBA.
Against the Portland Trailblazers, sans Ricky Rubio, Devin Booker, and Deandre Ayton, the team launched 3’s at a tremendous rate (45) and nailed a mind-blowing 53.3% of them.
Obviously, the rate in which they made them will not happen often (for reference, the Warriors shot 50% or above 13 times last season), so 50% with regularity is something that should never be expected.
However, the roster is now full of solid to above average 3-point shooters, so the rate in which they shoot them could actually hover around 40 per game – and should happen.
