Part 3/7:
The evolution of basketball has seen a significant uptick in reliance on three-point shooting, illustrated by the staggering statistics from a recent game that saw 96 three-pointers shot with a shooting percentage of 58%. This shift raises the question of how traditional roles and styles of play are adapting in this modern era.
Anthony Edwards, a prominent player, received criticism for adapting poorly to being double-teamed and for relying heavily on three-point shots. Analysts believe that while it is expected for great players to attract defensive pressure, there is a growing concern that Edwards may not have progressed as a leader on his team. Instead of aggressively taking the initiative, he appears to be settling for outside shots and not effectively guiding his team.
