That suggestion did not go over well with some people, including Stephen A. Smith. The ESPN analyst explained on First Take why Davis should stay away from increasing his three-point attempts.

“Anthony Davis’s career three-point percentage of 30% is the third worst amongst active players with a minimum of 1,000 attempts,” Smith said. “I’m not gonna side with Darvin Ham on that.”
