Can you explain why then that the pelicans coaching staff and front office have been asking BI to shoot more 3s for years now? This has been widely reported so clearly they think it’s a big deal for him to take more 3s

Can you explain why we don't get on JV to take more 3's, and be more like Lopez?
Why do we just look at BI to be more like Tatum, but we don't care to look at anyone else on the team to take more?

AND YES I THINK BI SHOULD TAKE MORE 3'S.
i just don't think it needs to be some absurd number like 8.
5 is just fine for him, and this team. Get a center who can take those extra 3 3's instead of BI taking 3 more to get to that 8.

Because do you know how rare it is for centers to shoot 3s? JV takes 1.6 3PAs per game and is in the top half of the league for centers. Those guys are rare and extremely hard to acquire. The simplest solution is to get on BI to shoot more 3s which he did his first 2 years here. We’ve seen him shoot over 6 3s a game at a high %. The fact that he can do it but chooses not to when it would help the team is infuriating and tells me he’s not committed to winning
