800th Three Pointer

As a skilled shooter and specifically a three-point shooter, Jones has killed teams with his shot behind the arc. Because of this, it comes as no surprise that there is a milestone with threes that he can reach this year. He currently has 745 threes in the bank. With a career average of 1.1 three pointers over a career average of 50 games, Jones could get exactly 800 threes. He averaged slightly less per game last year, so let’s hope he can get a few more three pointers and hit that milestone. With his good friend LeBron James on the court and the style of play that coach Ty Lue is implementing, it seems fairly possible Jones can reach this milestone.
