... he should not be taking as many three pointers as he does. I suppose the free throw shooting may be getting to him but he's settling way too much.
You can count on that his 3-pt frequency has the full backing of the coaching staff, given how well he shoots it and how often he gets to the rim. .354 of his shots are at the rim, and he's shooting an excellent .634 on those. He gets to the line frequently, just above the gold-standard .300, at .301 per FG attempt. Given that, it's hard to justify a claim that he's avoiding getting fouled, or settling for the jumper.
In any given lineup he's probably no better than the third option, so his reliably excellent outside shot is opening up driving lanes and spread pick and rolls for his teammates.
...shaky handle...
I've heard people claim this before, but given how often he puts it on the deck and how good his turnover % is, I can't say I could go along with it.
...okay jumper...
Really? His numbers say otherwise. Short midrange (10-16) he's shooting .450 (compare to Tatum at .455); Long Midrange he's shooting an excellent .485 (handily beating out Tatum at .456).
...lacks go to moves...
I won't insult you... you're wrong. He's highly skilled and has a wide repertoire.
But much of his offensive game is (mostly likely) too delayed to consider him a star in the making.
He's 21. His 2pt% is .518 and his 3pt% is .387; he gets to the line at .301 FTrate; he's got a wide repertoire of moves off the dribble, runs like a deer, and has a very acceptable turnover rate of 11.5%.
Did I mention that he's 21?
