Jordan Hawkins Expected To Take More Threes
1 month agoNew Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Jordan Hawkins will have the green light to bomb away from deep this season. The Pelicans started the preseason with a 106-104 win over Orlando, attempting 40 shots from three-point range. Hawkins took five of them, sinking two attempts. He led all scorers with 18 points. "They are telling me, 'Shoot a lot of 3s,' " Hawkins said after the game. "They definitely are trying to get up as many 3s as possible. It's definitely a big emphasis this year." Hawkins averaged 4.4 attempts from behind the arc during his rookie campaign last year, hitting with a 36.6 percent clip to average 7.8 points. His scoring numbers are bound to get a considerable boost with more attempts from downtown.
