She has not taken threes as much or made as many, and has been used way more on the low block than earlier this season. If she was back to hitting a three or two now and again not only do we get more threes made from non-Jump players but she pulls defenders out to open things up for Betts or Iriafen, or Jones to cut to the basket. Brink is not a one dimensional player, but that's how she has mostly been used after January.Brink's problem hasn't been taking fewer threes, it's been making fewer of them:
Season 3PA (3PM) 3P%
2022-23 47 (10) 21.3%
2021-22 31 (11) 35.5%
2020-21 30 (11) 36.7%
Since February 1, Brink has taken 1 three point attempt and missed in 11 games. 0-1. She's not been attempting them near as frequently as earlier in the year. I think she will become a reliable 3point threat with time. Hopefully by next year.
