Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Harm wants Anthony Davis to take a bunch of three-pointers during the upcoming season.
In fact, Ham said he wants the former Kentucky star to take at least six long range shots per game.
Here is an excerpt of Ham’s comments from ESPN:
“I want him, if he can — I know he won’t do it, but maybe he’ll shock me — but I’ve requested to see six 3-point attempts a game,” Ham said after practice Tuesday. “Three per half, at least. I wouldn’t put that on him if I didn’t think he was capable.”
Through two preseason games, the big man is keeping up with his coach’s call, going 3-for-6 on 3-pointers in 27 combined minutes of limited action against the Golden State Warriors and Brooklyn Nets. It would be a significant increase for Davis, who only averaged 1.3 attempts from 3 last season. The most he has ever averaged in a season was 3.5 in 2019-20 — his first campaign with the Lakers.
