Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[mvossman]

Is he a great shooter? Over his career he's been under 35% on 3s, under 75% on FTs, and there's been no indication that's going to change where he's great at making shots. That was one of my big disappointments with him - every year there's been hope that he would do what it takes to bring his numbers up and become a knockdown shooter, but improvement is always minimal at best. Imagine what a difference it would make if he made a high percentage rather than a mediocre one. This year his shooting percentages have actually gone down, not up.

He is at least a very good shooter.  Got to take into account the volume and level of difficulty.  Most of his 3s are self created pull ups as opposed to having somebody spoon feed him.  Can't compare his percentage to guys that stand in the corner.

I would also say that he showed significant shooting improvement last season.  He shot 38% from three and over 78% from the line, but it was a disappointing start to this season before he got hurt.
