DJJ is not close to average shooter, he is a bad shooter. DJJ shot 1.3 3PA per game, which is approximately one third of his total attempts. 1.1 3PA out of 1.3 3PA per game was wide open. I think this describes very nicely what kind of shooter he is and how much defences care for him shooting (which impacts the overall situation on court). That 33 % is not good at all. He did hit 37 % of those wide open looks, while he was below 20 % when he was just "open" (opponent 4-6 feet from him). He basically didn't try shooting if opponent was closer and missed all of those rare attempts. He shoots rarely and not good, which is the sole reason why he was never more than a role player, somewhere around 9th guy on the team.

Totally, and it’s not like this is just about range. He’s not going to be useful in any sort of mid-range, DeRozan way, either. Essentially, he can’t have the ball in his hands unless he’s standing under the basket or two steps away from it, headed downhill. He is LESS skilled with the ball than DFS (read this sentence 2-3 times). 

Offensively, DJJ is Dwight Powell. The good news is that he’s REALLY good at being Powell on offense.
