The Dallas Mavericks lost in the NBA Finals in five games and general manager Nico Harrison wants each player to get 10-15% better this offseason. For P.J.
Washington, who was acquired at the trade deadline for the Charlotte Hornets, his improvements will come with his floor-spacing.
Washington shot just 31.4% from 3 in 29 regular season games in Dallas, then shot 34.8% in the playoffs.
If you take out his hot streak against Oklahoma City in the second round, where half of his made threes came, that plummets to 27.9%.
He wants to be better than that, and according to Brian Dameris, the former director of player development for the Mavs and host of the “Take Dat Wit You” podcast, Washington’s planning to change his shot this summer to make that jump.
“Now [he] will have a training camp to be established in the offensive game a little bit more,” Dameris said, “and his shot is being completely re-tooled so that his 3-point average can go up because I don’t think the organization thought they liked what his shot was coming in [to Dallas].
He’s going to get open looks and I think more seasoning within this structure and some time to really learn and not having to learn on the fly will really help.”
