1. Devonte’ Graham Sets Career-High In 3-Pointers
If there is one thing that Devonte’ Graham is known for, it is his 3-point shooting. It is the best skill that he brings to the table and is a big reason why the New Orleans Pelicans added him to the roster.
Graham has shot 37.3 and 37.5 percent from the 3-point line the last two seasons. While not considered elite marks, the volume at which he shoots is what makes him so valuable, as he attempted 9.3 and 8.7 attempts in 20219-20 and 2020-21, respectively.
Having a shooter of that caliber in the lineup alongside Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson should elevate this offense to new heights. He will get plenty of looks as well, as he is at best the third option in that starting lineup.
As a result, Graham set a new career-high for 3-pointers made in a season. He is a great catch-and-shoot player, making 41.8 percent of that type of shots during the 2019-20 season and 42.6 this past season.

That will play well alongside two All-Stars, as Graham will knock down at least 250 3-pointers this upcoming season.
