Camara is a career .361 on 3s and only shooting .323 - guessing that will come up.
maybe...probably? At this point, hard to say which season was more predictive for Camara: his .337 or .375 season. Deni is a career .339 shooter from three but this season is shooting .389. If Camara improves it might be that Deni regresses. Jrue is right around his career average; Grant is well above his. Sharpe is the wild card. If I had to guess, my guess would be that Portland will end up shooting about the same as last season from three when they ranked 26th; maybe a bit higher
Solid post. I wish I had put a 3pt% prediction aspect to the prediction thread.
We are at .339 now. We were at .342 last season. I am going to take the over on .339 and an improvement to 20th or above vs. last year's 26th.
I am probably overly optimistic. But I think that the pace they are playing at involves more open 3s.
you could be right
my guess is that a lot of the things the Blazers are doing successfully right now will get scouted by other teams. I think Portland has surprised teams with the defensive pressure and aggressive transition. Those two things are the Blazer strengths right now, and I think many teams on their schedule will work to take those Blazer strengths away. It won't be easy because right now the Blazers have depth and length. Later in the season? Not sure.
