The biggest indictment of Doug Christie as a coach in my opinion is the simple fact that the Kings play offense like it’s the year 2000. Even against the Lakers where the Kings made an absurd 17 of their 26 three point attempts, the fact that they only shot 26 threes is ridiculous and was even lower than their league low 30.1 attempts a game. This problem started a little bit once the Kings got DeMar DeRozan with his affinity for midrange jumpers, but this year it’s become even worse. Russell Westbrook shouldn’t be leading this team in three point makes and attempts, but at least he is shooting them. It’s just simple math that shooting a three is better than shooting a two, unless the two is coming at the rim. Even shooting just 33.3% from three would result in the same amount of points as shooting 50% from two. DeMar DeRozan, as good as he is from mid-range, only shoots 46.9% from 16 feet to the 3 point line, and 48.7% from 10-16 feet. He’s shooting 36% from distance, the best of his career, but only 2.2 attempts a game. Zach LaVine, one of the best shooters in the NBA, is only at 6.7 attempts a game, the fewest he’s attempted since the 2018-19 season. Hell, Max should be shooting a couple attempts a game if we want to eventually develop him to be a stretch big, but he’s only at 0.8 attempts. This team needs to shoot more threes, and that’s on Coach Christie to implement.
