He is a low volume shooter but 38% for his career and 41% this last season. We won't be able to treat him like we did Giddey.
Of course we can? His 3pt percentage from season to season alters between 30%, 48%, 33%, 40%, 33%, 36%. So last year´s 41% is the first time his 3pt percentage did not go down again.
So when the play-in arrived did the Hawks and Heat gave a flying f*** about his 41% shooting? Nope.
He scored six points on 2-3 shooting in 17 minutes in the win against the Hawks while the rest of the Bulls starters scored 107 points.
What about the Heat loss? 2-8 shooting, team worst -33. You all must know better than Spoelstra.
I guarantee you if we play the Thunder again, the Mavs will leave him open, till he proves that he´s willing and capable to hit these threes regularly.
