Kind of crazy to see these stats when all offseason, all of the talk was about how unsure we were of who was going to put up points for this team and how well they were going to shoot it from beyond the arc. We’re only a few games in, and haven’t really been tested yet, but these are great signs early on.

Quadir Copeland – 80%
