Sabonis’ three-point volume has been a talking point in Sacramento dating back to the 2022-23 Beam Team season. The hope was that he would continue to improve his efficiency and up his volume, and while there was a slight increase in 2024-25, Sabonis’ three-point volume never took off like many hoped.<\/p>\n
That year, Sabonis shot 41.7% on 2.2 attempts per game. It more than doubled the amound of threes he took the year prior, but still wasn’t enough to make defenders step out and guard him on the perimeter.<\/p>\n
Last season, Sabonis’ three-point production fell off a cliff completely. He shot 18.5% on 1.4 attempts, so it’s safe to say he didn’t build on the increased production from the year before. To be fair, Sabonis did deal with injuries and played just 19 games, which likely led to the dip in production.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to this year, part of what the Kings are going to have to experiment with is the two-big lineup with the trio of Sabonis, Maxime Raynaud, and Dylan Cardwell on the roster. The hope is that Raynaud will also take a leap in his three-point production. But getting both him and Sabonis going from beyond the arc would do wonders to open up the Kings’ offense.<\/p>\n
But for any two-big lineup to work, at least one of the bigs will have to take more threes, and the odds of that being Cardwell are slim, to say the least.<\/p>\n
Sabonis upping his three-point production would also skyrocket his trade value, which would be beneficial to both him and the Kings in the fact that he could get moved to a contender at the trade deadline. So much of this year is about the future rather than the season itself, and Sabonis’ three-point volume falls into that same category. Getting him to take more threes would be great for getting a few more wins, but the more important part could be the trade value.<\/p>\n
