Used to be such a big part of his game.<\/p>\n<p id=\"RlgV5g\"><strong>klam05:<\/strong> Any chance Mazulla gets Luke to tap into his 3 point arsenal? He was used as a stretch big in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postingandtoasting.com\/\">Knicks<\/a> days. What are the odds Joe knows this and is saving this for the right moment?<\/p>\n<p id=\"95a6zW\">Let\u2019s dig into this for a second. At one point in his career, Luke Kornet made seven three-pointers in a game. We have video evidence.<\/p>\n<div id=\"QhVQbs\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aXH6jaNARb4?rel=0\" style=\"top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; border: 0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"ngYuDo\">This year he hasn\u2019t even attempted a single 3 pointer. What gives?<\/p>\n<p id=\"XfDyzV\">Sometimes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nba.com\/stats\/player\/1628436?PerMode=Totals\">the stats page<\/a> tells the whole story. In his first two years in the league, he shot a respectable 35.4% and 36.3% on pretty high volume (roughly 4 per game). After that, however, his percentages drop to the mid 20\u2019s as he bounced around from team to team, trying to find a home in the NBA. <\/p>\n<p id=\"MFWVv0\">You\u2019ll notice that his attempts fell off a cliff as well. After attempting 380 three pointers through his first three seasons, he\u2019s attempted just 141 for the rest of his career (3.75 seasons).  That might be a chicken\/egg debate topic. Did he stop shooting because he wasn\u2019t shooting well enough or are his shooting splits skewed by the low sample size of attempts?<\/p>\n<p id=\"fz2qrO\">Our own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonsportsjournal.com\/2023\/01\/07\/nba-notebook-how-luke-kornet-saved-his-nba-career-with-the-celtics\">Bobby Manning actually asked Luke<\/a> directly about his early career. He spoke about some injuries he had earlier in his career and the impact that they had on what he\u2019s focused on.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"MLDZlD\">\u201cThe time in Chicago was definitely very difficult, especially because it seemed like all your abilities, it\u2019s like, alright what\u2019s going on? You didn\u2019t even know what was happening, but I think that in a lot of ways was great because it helped me be able to accept a certain role that I had that was different than what I\u2019d done a lot in a lot of my career and be able to improve in that, and I think that\u2019s actually become useful here in Boston, helping as a screener, roller, offensive rebounder and all that stuff. If it wasn\u2019t for my injuries, I never would\u2019ve taken the time to actually improve and address those things. At the time I wasn\u2019t grateful for it, but I think now I\u2019m appreciative. It was definitely very difficult and hard and some dark days.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"6Fbzlu\">It sounds like he decided to focus his efforts on skills that could get stay on an NBA roster and get back on the court. That means doing the dirty work that he mentions (screening, rebounding, etc.) and generally using his 7\u20191\u201d frame in more traditional ways. This speaks to the difficult decisions that some guys need to make to their game when they are on the fringe edges of the league.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8pLmZR\">From a Celtics perspective, this team has plenty of shooting from the perimeter. They need guys that can do the grunt work and guard opposing backup centers. Of course you see Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford out there stretching the court. But those are proven shooters with reputations that impact scouting reports.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"v4k5MN\">If Luke and the coaching staff were confident enough in his shot, I would assume that he\u2019d be encouraged to launch away. However, if he\u2019s going to hit just 25% of his shots, that\u2019s not going to stretch the defense and he would be more valuable focusing on pick and rolls and boxing out for rebounds.<\/p>\n<p id=\"75hwzm\">Maybe that is something he could work on adding to his game in the offseason. But for now we\u2019ll just have to live with his other talents&#8230; like his epic celebrations!<\/p>\n<p id=\"9q6vc2\">Thanks for the questions! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.celticsblog.com\/2024\/3\/2\/24088853\/boston-celtics-tatum-brown-mazzulla-open-mailbag-topics-for-daily-posts\">Ask more here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>        Photo by Patrick McDermott\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>  Kornet once hit seven three-pointers in a single game, but he hasn\u2019t attempted one all year.
