Lineup Discussion: Good on Paper Vs Good on Court

[ItsGoTime]

For THJ, he had shown that he could shoot and that he was starter material in Atlanta. Then he spent his New York years in an awful offense taking bad shots. 

But that narrative is not 100% accurate. THJ had never shot higher than 35% on catch and shoot threes in his career, including wide open and open ones. This year he jumped 7% (!!!) on catch and shoot threes. So this year is a total anomaly for him as a shooter, even when looking at his good, open shots. 

DFS also jumped from 30%, 33%, 32% on catch and shoot threes to 39% this year. He was 34% on 18-19 on WIDE open ones and 41% this year on WIDE open ones. 

Point being BOTH players had CRAZY jumps in shooting open, catch and shoot threes. Is it sustainable? That is the $15-20M question.

Ya, I will continue to maintain that THJ is a good candidate to sell high if he can bring back a good core starter for the team. My favorite candidate for trade is OPJ which would be a pretty big upgrade IMO.
