When defenders settle into wide stances, they’ll need to keep their arms raised facing the Sacramento Kings. Sacramento’s newly assembled roster is finely tuned to volley 3’s, from the corners or the bridge of the arc.
It should be a sharp contrast from the 2014-15 Kings, who experienced a downtown drought of epic proportions. The team made 5.6 3-pointers per game, good for 28th in the league and the third-lowest rate for the franchise since the 1998-99 season.
Too many times, open looks from deep failed to convert, convincing defenders to regularly sag off the perimeter and negate Sacramento’s spacing.
