30-34% is actually not fine when the guy is a 77% FG shooter at the rim, and heck even a 44% mid range shooter.
You need to shoot around 50% on threes match that 77% 2pt rate. Let’s say AD is a 55% 2pt shooter cause he’s bound to operate anywhere within the FT line at the rim. That means he’d need to hit right at 40% of 3s to match that 2pt production.
And he’s nowhere near close that. Last 6 years he’s a 25% 3pt shooter. He had 2 career years in New Orleans where he hovered around 33%. He’s awful at shooting it from range.
