If you take his entire career, an 8 season sample size, it shows that he is a remarkably sub-par 3pt shooter that had an outlier season if anything.
Again, not saying that this is the be all end all of MKG as a shooter. It isn't. He has room to grow, and has shown flashes like DFS did 3 years ago. But it will be a mountainous project to get him to be a reliable shooter in today's NBA, and cherry picking stats to build up any expectation of MKG's ability to be an offensive player certainly won't help him.
Yeah, anyone who believes MKG has untapped potential in 3PT shooting is reaching.
Forget his age for a second. This is his 8th NBA season and still hasn't figured it out. I am sure professional coaches and even Michael Jordan tried their hardest to help his jumper. MKG is a great kid too, great work ethic.
It's not rocket science. He just can't shoot, his mechanics suck, it is what it is.
And that's okay, we don't need him to be an outside shooter. Mavs have plenty of offense, we just need a slasher who can play defense. Something like Shawn Marion off the bench.
Deandre Jordan learned to shoot freethrows for the first time in his career with his half season on the Mavs
Hate to see teams like our rivals (the Rockets) be aggressive at the tdl and in the buyout market, can we waive lee and jackson already so we can make some upgrades?
