He shot like 31% on only like 1 attempt per game. I don't like how his shot creation is all mid range or in the paint. He's only good at shooting 3's that are created for him. He really, really needs to add a pull up 3 to his arsenal. It would also make him much more difficult to guard on drives. Without that shot I don't think he's touching any all star appearances, or touching 20ppg either.
A pull up three would no doubt help, but lower hanging fruit would be for him to pull the trigger more consistently on open 3s. He was nearly 20 points a game in the second half of the season and over it during the playoffs. Its not hard to see him hit 20 ppg next season.
