NBA 2018-19: Toronto Raptors Vs Golden State Warriors preview

#3 Raptors need to make their threes

Toronto Raptors v Atlanta Hawks

The Raptors, since last year, have been averaging 30 or more three point attempts per game. With the additions of Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard, the Raptors should be much more potent from behind the arc this season.

Both of those players average around 40%, for their career, from long distance. Currently, after 22 games the Raptors are shooting 35.1% from behind the arc, as a team. They need to get better. Danny Green has come, as advertised, shooting 43% from the arc and Leonard is at 38%.

One concern is C.J. Miles. He is hitting 1.1/3.7 threes attempted, which is 33%. When the Raptors, signed him, in the summer, of 2017, he was coming off a year, in which, he shot 40%, from the arc, for Indiana.

He has not been consistent for the Raptors. Fred Van Vleet is shooting 35% from the arc right now about 5% below his average last year. One thing is for certain, Golden State will shoot three pointers and if, the Raptors are not shooting well, from long distance, this could be trouble.
