It's a good question. Here's Davis' shooting stats since he came into the league
2016-17
Left corner 3: 56.3% (0.3 FGA)
Right corner 3: 40.0% (0.4 FGA)
Above the break 3: 38.2% (2.2 FGA)
2017-18:
Left corner 3: 41.7% (0.2 FGA)
Right corner 3: 54.2% (0.4 FGA)
Above the break 3: 35.3% (3.0 FGA)
2018-19:
Left corner 3: 47.8% (0.3 FGA)
Right corner 3: 68.0% (0.4 FGA)
Above the break 3: 40.8% (3.8 FGA)
2019-20:
Left corner 3: 47.4% (0.4 FGA)
Right corner 3: 63.2% (0.4 FGA)
Above the break 3: 41.3% (8.0 FGA)
2020-21:
Left corner 3: 45.7% (0.6 FGA)
Right corner 3: 40.0% (0.5 FGA)
Above the break 3: 39.2% (6.3 FGA)
2021-22:
Left corner 3: 40.0% (0.6 FGA)
Right corner 3: 59.1% (0.5 FGA)
Above the break 3: 29.4% (3.2 FGA)
So outside of this year, he's been a LETHAL 3pt shooter everywhere. He's also much better for his career shooting with no dribbles versus taking 1 or 2.
