Jordan Hawkins Expected To Take More Threes
40 seconds 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.
