Why isn’t Charlotte Hornet Marvin Williams in NBA’s 3-point contest?

Posted Jan 24, 2018
Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams is the NBA’s top 3-point shooter by percentage this season, yet hasn’t been invited to the league’s 3-point contest at All-Star Weekend. How can that be? Williams, in his 13th NBA season, is shooting 45.2 percent from 3-point range. That is best among players on pace to make at least 82 3s by the end of the season. (Charlotte Observer)
