3-Pointers: The Nemesis of the Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings have long been a laughingstock of the NBA.
They haven't won a playoff series since 2002, and their last winning season was in 2006. One of the biggest reasons for their struggles has been their inability to shoot the three-pointer.
In the 2018-19 season, the Kings ranked 29th in the NBA in three-point percentage.
They made just 34.2% of their threes, which was well below the league average of 35.4%. This lack of shooting has made it difficult for the Kings to score consistently, and it has also made them easy to defend.
The Kings have tried to address their shooting woes in recent years by drafting and signing players who can shoot the three.
However, they have yet to find a consistent threat from beyond the arc. Buddy Hield is the Kings' best three-point shooter, but he is not a star player. The Kings need to find a more reliable scorer from deep if they want to improve their offense.
The Kings' struggles from three-point range are a major reason why they have been so bad for so long.
If they want to turn things around, they need to find a way to shoot the three-pointer better. Otherwise, they will continue to be a bottom-feeder in the NBA.
