First three seasons he went from 28% to 32% to 35% in 3pt percentage. 61% to 74% to 80% from FT line.
Could just be a down year, in an upward trajectory, on one of the worst offensive teams in the whole league. Bottom five in almost all categories, while their volume shooter Lavine even shot 45/38/80, dragged up all the overall numbers.
Luka on the other hand elevates the shooting numbers of all the players around. So it´s not unreasonable to think Dunn could be a consistent 35-37% 3pt shooter on the Mavericks.
Not really sure if I buy the team excuse in Dunns case. He was assisted on 96.6% of his made 3s and he only takes 2.2 attempts per game. Higher volume and worse percentages would have made sense. Low volume and even worse percentages is simply not good. Nearly all of his attempts are catch and shoot 3s and he is shooting 26% on them. Last season he was barely any better. 29% on catch and shoot 3s. 30% in 2018. 24% in his rookie season.
According to the tracking data he was wide open on 1.7 of his attempts this season and only made 24%.
Maybe he can make a Marcus Smart like transition but I don´t see it. Smart always had the mechanics he just lacked the consistency.
