The last known 3-pointer made by AD was on 10/29 against the Sacramento Kings

For the month of November he shot 0.2 3-pointers a game

Prior to the season Davin “HIP” Ham said he wanted AD to be taking 6 3-pointers a game

AD hit some massive 3’s against Denver during the bubble playoffs. What happened??

ADs jumpshot in the bubble was an anomaly, unfortunately

I thought he worked on this in the offseason

[–] stridered@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

They didn’t say he worked hard on them.

[–] JabezMakaveli@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

At this point, his main contribution to games is defense since that's more consistent than his scoring

[–] pollinium@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Kyle Anderson was a 40% 3pt shooter last year. He's creeping up on a month himself, last making a 3 on 11/8

[–] PnG_e@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

At the beginning of the season, Ham said he wanted AD "taking 6 threes a game". Seems the coaching staff is trying to get AD back to a three level scorer, but he's not confident enough to get the shots up.

He wants to be Paolo Banchero so bad

[–] StoneColdAM@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Since his injury in the 2021 playoffs, AD hasn’t been as good at scoring from beyond the paint as he used to.

[–] Ramu_1798@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

There was a time where it was blasphemous to compare AD's shooting to Giannis or Embiid. Now I think Embiid has improved his shooting soooo much and AD rn is at level or worse than Giannis. Some Ben Simmons voodoo shit going on with him

"The last known 3-pointer made by AD was on 10/29 against the Sacramento Kings"

Ya never know with all those games the Lakers play in different galaxies

[–] Emotional-Chef-7601@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Ham blows me for this. Why aren't they trying to make him shoot 3'* especially when the Lakers are blowing out teams??? I miss the 2020 Lakers.

[–] BigBearBaloo@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

He was once a 3-level scorer. Now just 1. I truly don’t understand

[–] nawksnai@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

And then Ham watched him shooting in practice and….changed his mind.

[–] billythekido@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

So what about his unknown three printers?! How many of those do we got??

[–] Battlemaster123@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I mean the way he's putting up numbers it's really not a big deal

[–] UndisclosedLocation5@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Is this some X Files shit or what? The last known 3-pointer?

[–] ILoveRegenHealth@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I feel like this is the least of AD's concerns now. Lack of threes never hurt many great Centers.

[–] Torkzilla@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

If I’m coaching AD I don’t want him outside of the paint ever on either end of the court.

[–] Typical-Gold-29@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

What about the last unknown 3-pointer?

[–] mido0o0o@alien.top 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He is playing against us tonight. Expect 3s.

[–] Js_On_My_Yeet@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I expect every team who plays against us to shoot and make more 3s than us at this point lol.
