Naji Marshall targets 45% from three-point range this season
Dallas forward Naji Marshall, who shot 29.1% from deep last season, wants 45% or better after signing a new three-year, 52 million deal in the summer.
Naji Marshall has set himself a target of 45% or better from three-point range this season. The Dallas forward hit 29.1% of his attempts from behind the arc last season, averaging fewer than one three-pointer a game.
He signed a new deal with the club in the summer, for 3 years and 52 million.
"This year, 45% or higher. Everything in the basket. High expectations, I'm setting the bar as high as I can," Marshall said. "I think we're in a really good position. I hope we can stay in it mentally. And everything will be just as joyful through the season. We're ready to win."
He also spoke about his summer work with Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg. "I trained really well with Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg," Marshall said. "Kai is special. I'm very glad to see him moving the way he did before. He still shoots better than anyone in the gym. No difference. A little time."
If Marshall gets anywhere near 45%, it would be a rise of nearly 16 percentage points on last season's figure.
