The Los Angeles Lakers face questions about their 3-point shooting capabilities as they rank 21st in the league at 35%, down from previous seasons. Despite this, they showed improvement with a 37% shooting rate in the 19 games leading into the All-Star break, suggesting potential for better performance. Key players have underperformed, but as they regain health, there’s optimism that sustained shooting success could elevate the team’s offensive efficiency. The Lakers excel inside the arc and at the free-throw line, with improved 3-point shooting being crucial for achieving elite status.
