Los Angeles Clippers’ Blake Griffin working on corner-3

Here is some interesting news from The Orange County Register‘s Dan Woike, reporting from the Los Angeles Clippers media day.

Oh, okay then. Let’s break down what this means.

Last season we saw Griffin add a variety of post moves and his best true-shooting percentage of his career. But after four seasons, Griffin still shoots the mid-range jumper a bit too much despite massive improvements to his post game.

In fact, if he isn’t shooting from near the rim then Griffin is almost exclusively shooting from between 16 feet and the three-point arc. According to basketball-reference.com, Griffin shot from there a career-high 26.7 percent last season (and made nearly 40 percent of them). It makes sense, then, that Griffin would try to take a couple of steps back in order to gain an extra point on those makes.

According to Woike’s report, Griffin is continuing to expand his range and is doing so by incorporating the corner–a shorter-distance three than its cousin from the top of the arc.

Griffin has already shown an ability to hit that shot, though in a limited sample size. Of Griffin’s shots, only 3.2 percent of them came from beyond the arc, and 36.4 percent of those came from the corner. Basically, one percent of Griffin’s shots last season came from the most efficient spot on the floor save for under the rim.

On those shots, however, Griffin converted nearly 44 percent of the time. Solid. It’s something he is looking to explore more this season.

If Griffin can continue to add to his offensive arsenal it will not only make him more threatening to defenses, but also the rest of his team by spacing the floor for guys like DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul.

But shooting that shot in training camp and in a game are two very different things. Can he do it? Given how much Griffin has developed in just four seasons, I wouldn’t put it past him.
