Key stat helps justify Hornets’ complete faith in Charles Lee

A significant chunk of the Charlotte Hornets' top-ranked offense has consisted of the 3-point shot. However, it's not like they have been hoisting long-range shots indiscriminately. Charles Lee appears to have established an offensive system that gets his players open looks from beyond the arc.

As Dylan Jackson of SportCLT noted, based on numbers from NBA.com, 43.4 percent of the shots the Hornets have attempted are "open" or "wide open" tries from three. That's certainly a healthy shot diet, and Lee deserves a ton of credit for how he has transformed the squad's offense.
