very true. The jury is still out on whether last season was the new normal and he is in a slump or it was a fluky season. However he is 35/103 on his last approximately one hundred shots (12 games). He is 37/99 in the 12 games before.
45% on wide open threes is very good when you are on the floor primarily for your defensive duties and act as a punisher on offense, taking 4-5 mostly corner threes a game; like Dorian Finney-Smith or Jerami Grant of yesterday. In fact, I don't care about Dorian's regressed 3PT% very much until it reaches to a point where defenses completely ignore him and clog the lane. 1/5 is 20% which is bad and 2/5 at 40% is good, yet the difference is only 3 points for the whole game.
However, Tim doesn't bring much to the table of the defensive end. He is on the floor as one of the primary scoring options. 2/12 from three is 10 empty possessions which happens to be more than 10% of all our possessions last game (88).
He hit at the same ration on wide open threes last year (around 46.5%), but also hit 39% on 3.7 attempts of open threes, and 34% on 1.4 tight three attempts per game. He also hit 35.6% of his 2.2 pull up threes per game. That is more of a scorer's profile.
