Utah Jazz: Emmanuel Mudiay proves there’s still worth in the (good) two-point shot

The Utah Jazz’s beatdown of the New York Knicks last Wednesday featured Emmanuel Mudiay’s season-high in points, as he scored 20 points against his former team. Out of his twelve field goal attempts, only four were threes.

Mudiay averages the lowest amount of three-point attempts out of any perimeter Jazz player who has played meaningful minutes this season, shooting just 3.2 per 36 minutes. In contrast, he attempts 10.3 two-pointers per 36 minutes, third-most on the team.

76 percent of Mudiay’s shots from the floor are two-pointers, the fourth-highest percentage on the team, behind only big men Rudy Gobert, Tony Bradley and Ed Davis.
