All-Star 2023: Starry 3-Point Contest brings new twists | NBA.com (NBA.com)

The last time Salt Lake City hosted the NBA All-Star Game in 1993, Mark Price of the Cleveland Cavaliers won the 3-point contest – then known as the AT&T ...

Instead, I’ll choose the left wing, where Lillard has high volume (192 attempts) and is shooting 39.1%. Money Ball Rack Pick: This is one of the easier picks to make as Huerter shoots nearly 42% – 6.2 percentage points above league average from the left wing. That means the recommendation goes to the straight-on 3 from the top of the key, where Herro shoots nearly 38% on the season. If you’re worried about putting the all money ball rack in the first corner because you may start out cold and need to warm up, then what about putting it in the final corner? A common strategy is to place the rack in one of two corner locations. But there are four other players to keep an eye on from real long distance, a group led by Kevin Huerter, who has made five of his nine attempts from that distance for a 55.6% shooting percentage that tops any player in this contest. The decision of where to place the most valuable rack on the floor can make or break a shooter’s round. Not only will we see plenty of 3-point shots during Sunday’s 72nd NBA All-Star Game, eight of the top long-distance shooters in the league will compete in the Starry 3-Point Contest as part of All-Star Saturday Night. Four of the racks used in today’s contest are the same as the traditional contest – four orange balls worth one point each and one multi-colored money ball worth two points. If a player struggles early, but hits both “Starry” balls and clears his all money ball rack, then he’s right back in the competition. With the midseason classic back in Salt Lake City and the Starry 3-Point Contest set for Saturday, let’s take a look at the numbers. In 1993, the league average for 3-pointers attempted was 9.0 per team.
