Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic will both look to take more three-point shots as head coach Michael ... [+] Malone eyes improving the Denver Nuggets' offensive efficiency. These are followed closely by corner three-pointers at 1.17 PPS, all threes at 1.09 PPS, with midrange shots coming in considerably lower at 0.81 PPS. Note that midrange shots are less efficient than threes despite being made at a higher clip (.403) than both three-pointers in general and specifically corner threes. “We shoot probably too many midrange shots,” Malone said. Just over 23% of Denver’s playoff three-point attempts were taken by Jerami Grant and Torrey Craig, both of whom left the Nuggets in free agency.
