Why Nets' Michael Porter Jr. Should Take Even More 3-Pointers Next Season

The Brooklyn Nets’ offseason moves could change how Michael Porter Jr. shoots when next season tips off, with a strong case for him taking even more 3-pointers. After a difficult year overall, Brooklyn’s season did include a breakthrough from Porter, who proved he could handle a larger role as the No. 1 option. With the trade for Julius Randle among the biggest additions, the Nets may rely less on Porter for creating his own offense. That shift could free him to take more open looks from beyond the arc, and last season he already took more than half his shots from 3-point range.
