Blake Griffin's New 3 Point Range.

Clippers Forum » Clippers News & General Discussions

Blake finished last season shooting nearly 40% from deep post all star break on 3 attempts per game roughly. I've said he would be a darkhorse MVP candidate and this may just push him over the top if he can stay healthy. This preseason in just 4 games, and an average of 23 minutes per game, he's hit 8 out of 17 attempts (48%). That's an average of 4+ attempts per game from 3. What's more surprising is his jumper just looks so effortless from deep now. He's not struggling due to distance and the hitch seems better. Anyone else notice this? Blake Griffin with a legit 3 point shot. I realize sample isn't huge and it's just preseason, but I've been very surprised TBH by this development.

Yeah I definitely like seeing Blake taking corner 3's, and Milos has been really good at setting him up there. What I want to see Blake take fewer of are these fancy dribble moves that end up with a long, step-back 2.

I have noticed a big improvement. Blake looks comfortable with those shots. Before, it always looks like he's thinking twice about those shots.

He's taking three's from all angles. He shot about 37% over the last 3 months of last season on about 3/game. He should be able to shoot 35%+ on 5+ attempts, and it opens up the drive for him because guys are now closing out hard to him on the 3PT line.

Blake 3 point range will bring us the trophy this year. Watch out Warriors

I love the optimism, but I think first we need to just make the playoffs (which I think we will). Depending on the matchup, and if this team gels and stays healthy, we can probably make the second round. Maaayyyybe WCF, but I think lots of other teams will need to be hit by the injury bug. That said, I suppose anything can happen. CAN'T WAIT til next Thursday!

His three pt shot will help only if he couples it with bully ball under the basket.

We have a good shooter and the ball is moving we just need to improve our rebounding and defense. Blake 3 point shooting is just a bonus.

Blake doesn't have the stamina to play bully ball. He's better off staying in the perimeter.mhe reminds me of a boxer who has a nice physique but always gasses out

unless there is something wrong with him, that's insane. Shaq even when old could band. So could Malone and a lot of other guys.
