Shoot More 3s

People don’t know this but when their team plays against the Utah Jazz, they should be ready for a gun fight.

Utah is one of the better shooting teams and they rank as the eighth-best team in the league when it comes to three-point shooting percentage. They connect on 36 percent of their three-point attemps, a better clip that teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Charlotte Hornets.

However, for as lethal as this team has been from long range, they are one of the worst when it comes to actually shooting three-pointers, well at least attempting them. The Jazz only take 21.7 three-pointers a game, which isn’t really that many. They are ranked as the eighth-worst team when it comes to attempting three-pointers.

If they want to score more points, they’ll need that number to increase even more because this team has a lot of space to work with now Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert are not in the lineup.

Next: Shoot More, Period
