Pelicans are dead last in 3PA per game

We’re averaging 28 3PAs. The second to last teams is averaging 31.5
This is a serious issue. Guys like Fears and Dejounte have to shoot more 3s.

Have you seen them shoot? I’d rather Zion and Queen shoot more threes.

Fears has to be a good 3pt shooter if he’s going to become a star. It’s a nonnegotiable for a small guard

I think the dumbest thing this franchise has done dating back to the #DoItBig marketing campaign is refuse to embrace that the league is built around the perimeter.
We've refused to fully invest in 3pt shooting and it has set us back year after year after year.

Not having enough 3pt shooters is a problem. Looking around the league teams have guys that consistently shoot them and even bring guys off the bench to do the same. It’s been a problem for a while now with the Pelicans. Watching the games last night (Boston/Portland/OKC/Philly)these
teams can beat teams multiple ways and not just trade 3 for 2. They’re going to have to add shooting somehow.

Well, part of the problem is that a lot of the investment we did make was put into Jordan Hawkins.

Seriously. I just want 2 white dudes on the bench who are bad defenders but are an absolute flamethrower from 3. I feel like every team but us has them.
I never understood the Mathurin pickup. He comes off the bench and doesn’t provide any different skill set than what we’re already loaded with. I would say rather a 3pt sniper be coming off the bench in place of Mathurin.
I’m actually curious to see how low our 3PAs can get. Murphy will almost certainly be traded and he takes 6 3s a game. After he’s gone we could be looking at 20 3PAs per game

That’s only one guy. If even Hawkins panned out we would need 3-4 other guys in the rotation that can shoot. We have 1.5 good 3pt shooters between Murphy and Bey.

The issue is we work too hard to get shots down low. And it's predicated on us getting calls.
Don't get calls, we lose.

Yeah there’s no movement on offense. Just guys standing around while the guy with the ball dribbles. It’s been the same for like 3-4 years regardless of the coach.

This is a structural problem the pelicans have been unable to fix. With a couple of outliers we’ve basically been in the bottom 5 teams in 3pt attempts for the last decade.

This happens when you have a non shooting backcourt in Fears/Murray who's taking the lionshare of the minutes. This will be an issue until they find a legitimate "Shooting Guard" to play next to Fears.

When you have a PF who never shoots threes, and you refuse to go out and find a 5 who can shoot threes, this is what you get.
We also play way too much iso ball to get enough 3s up.

Yes, but the offense is 8th in points pretty game so they're doing something right. Specificallly, thePels lead the league in points in the paint post game by like 5. Shots in the restricted area have a higher expected points per shot and are worth going for, but of course floaters and other lane shots are lower. But getting in the lane also draws fouls, and the Pels are shooting the third most FT attempts.
Yes, it'd be great to shoot 3s better but they don't even need more volume, just hit the shots taken. Even if shooting league average 35% on the low volume, the offense would be top 4 in points per game.
