Threes on Top of Threes: Toronto Raptors Looking to Add Extra Dimension to Offence
Toronto plans to reach at least 35 three-point attempts per game as Kawhi Leonard’s gravity opens more space for shooters.
- The Toronto Raptors plan to shoot at least 35 three-pointers per game this season, leveraging recently acquired star forward Kawhi Leonard's presence to draw defensive attention and create open looks.
- Head coach Darko Rajakovic said increasing three-point volume is critical in modern basketball, as improved perimeter shooting should 'relieve a lot of pressure' and create more space for paint touches.
- During Tuesday's 148-98 win over the New York Knicks, the Raptors attempted 44 three-pointers and made 17, demonstrating the team's commitment to the new offensive approach.
- Sophomore Collin Murray-Boyles made 2 of 2 three-pointers to build confidence, while starting point guard Immanuel Quickley remains a perimeter threat despite missing all five attempts against the Knicks.
- The Raptors play their final pre-season game in Detroit on Friday before hosting the Chicago Bulls for their Oct. 21 home opener, marking the start of the regular season.
