2013-14: 44.3%
2014-15: 45.7%
2015-16: 44.1%
2016-17: 43.9%
2017-18: 44.7%
2018-19: 40.5%
2019-20: N/A
2020-21: N/A
2021-22: 36.4%
2022-23: 41.4%
2023-24: 38.1%
From 2013-2019 Klay led the league in catch and shoot 3pt attempts AND makes (all 6 of those seasons rank in the top 10 of all time in terms of catch and shoot 3pt makes).
He led the league in career catch and shoot 3pt% at 43.9% in those 6 years.
Last 2 years, Klay and Lauri have been tied in terms of catch and shoot 3pt attempts. Their averages?
Klay: 39.8%
Lauri: 41.0%
Adding Klay to this team is akin to adding a Lauri Markkannen level shooter right now. And that's before giving him the Luka buff of wide open 3s.
Have you all missed the number of times Klay couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in games that mattered in the past two years? Goodness gracious.
