|
In the dances for all 12, Mr. Morris gives us two sixes, three fours, four threes, but sometimes with such bewilderingly fluent changes that it's remarkably hard to keep track of the number games.
|
|
He hasn't been particularly efficient (despite corner threes falling), but as a response to his newfound freedom to take them, Crowder has morphed back into the analytically-beloved swingman who helped accelerate Boston's rebuild.

|
|
A player of his size and athleticism dunking all over the country already feels like the total package, but now he's knocking down threes, and opponents might need to change their pants about it.
|
|
And big men, like Kanter, who neither protect the rim nor shoot threes—something Washington Wizards coach Scott Brooks first encouraged him to try when both were in Oklahoma City—are an endangered species.
|
|
And the two clutch threes missed by VanVleet are avatars for the entire culture reset, shots borne of good process—DeRozan drawing attention and using it to create a quality look for a teammate.

|
|
Mitchell won't make 276 percent of his pull-up threes the rest of the year (as he recently has been), but that shot's potential centripetal force can have a real impact on a defense.
|
|
Right now Davis is shooting 36.7 percent from behind the line (403 percent over his last 10 games), and the New Orleans Pelicans are 6-0 this year whenever he attempts at least five threes.

|
|
Dallas has lineups now that will lessen his individual burden and let him thrive in space, with Noel at the five, Matthews, Curry (who made 47 percent of his uncontested threes last year), and Smith.
|
|
Since no team has shown the ability to effectively suppress three-point defense on a consistent basis across a long period of time, preventing teams from taking threes at all is the most advantageous strategy.
|
|
It went on like this all game, with Whitehead silencing Villanova runs with big threes, using pick-and-roll action to get to the basket, and transitioning from distributor to scorer as the situation dictated.
|
|
In a recent loss against the Portland Trail Blazers, Williams is guarding Allen Crabbe as he sprints to set a pick for Damian Lillard; the resulting breakdowns lead to a pair of high-percentage threes.
|
|
But leaving them open sounds like a nice plan until they combine to make six or seven threes, and leveraging Durant's impact with the ball in his hands still opens up avenues for everybody else.
|
|
He has mouthwatering upside and is critical going forward as a resistant rubber band who can shoot threes (he's 20-for-45 from deep this season) and neutralize threats who give most opponents serious problems.
|
|
The Wildcats can help Murray in that regard by getting him the ball more when he's on the move, as he's proven adept at hitting catch-and-shoot threes coming off screens or on curls.
|
|
If you're playing defense for 23 seconds and you're punching it into the post—out of the post you can still get threes after double teams and stuff—but there's not a lot of rebounds.

|
As his role with the Spurs became complementary and he gave way to the team's whirling contraption of screens and cuts and corner threes, the opportunities to watch him work in the post have gradually diminished.

|
|
Butler is an authentic MVP candidate who's been magnificent at everything (including turning long twos into short twos and threes, while his shooting splits on the second night of back-to-backs are 50.5/41.7/94.6!).
|
|
Gibson finally found his home last season though, and led the Chinese League in scoring last season by a massive amount, putting up 42 points per game and hitting a ton of threes in the process.
|
|
A shifty playmaker who can post-up, shoot threes, and attack on or off the ball, the second overall pick in the 276 NBA draft is an ideal offensive complement for Jeremy Lin (and vice-versa).
|
|

|
|
Porzingis flashed skills his rookie season that suggest he could be the mold of the modern NBA center — long and athletic, with the ability to stretch the floor and hit threes, defend the rim, and block shots.
|
|
Some of the disparity is due to unsustainable shot making by George (OKC's made exactly half of its threes sans Westbrook), but it's hard not to detect a bit more fluidity and purpose in their attack, too.
|
|
That recipe would have worked wonders five or six years ago, but in today's NBA, when you attempt the fewest threes and are less accurate from beyond the arc than every other team, average is the ceiling.
|
|
Those bulletproof four-on-threes are how I think of Green in the abstract, but the specific play that comes to mind most often happened on Christmas Day of this season, when the Warriors hosted the Cavaliers.
|
|
It shouldn't surprise anyone that a team that loves to run and launch threes early in the shot clock also struggles with transition defense—which, as it happens, might be Houston's largest concern heading into the postseason.
|
|
After Michigan was eliminated from the NCAA tournament, in a game where Wilson, a junior, made four threes, grabbed six boards, and blocked two shots, the Wolverines held a couple practices with everyone except the graduating seniors.

|
This speedy environment was MADE for setting records, so much so that Klay's record will probably be broken some time later this year, assuming the pace and the volume of threes being taken keeps up like this.

|
|
At 6-foot-6 (1.98 m), Ball plays a style that harkens back to the 'Showtime' days of the Lakers, dishing off no-look passes, launching threes and finishing at the hoop with rim-jarring slam dunks.
|
|
Opportunity doesn't have to come in threes despite what a lot of clichés about third strikes and third chances might suggest, and the Raptors would have been foolish to try James once more on the same terms.

|
|
Last season's Rockets were loathed for the shamelessness of their strategy—weighing analytically prudent threes and layups and free-throws above everything else, up to and including basic dignity and just kind of agreed-upon basketball etiquette.
