The Orlando Magic's difficulties with long-range shooting have become increasingly apparent this season. After 60 games, the team finds itself at the bottom of the league in 3-point shooting percentage, currently sitting at a mere 30.4%. This disappointing statistic highlights a significant struggle, as the Magic have failed to reach the 30% mark in 32 different games throughout the season.
Despite these challenges, the team has not been lacking in effort. Heading into their matchup against the Warriors, the Magic have managed to generate the ninth-most wide-open 3-point attempts in the league, totaling 1,157. This statistic suggests that while the opportunities are there, the execution has not followed suit.
In addition to their shooting woes, the team is also navigating roster changes. Notably, McClung is now available for selection, while Baker is set to take his talents overseas. As the Magic continue to search for solutions, fans are left wondering if these adjustments will help improve their shooting performance moving forward.
