You say that, but then why didn't THJ play like his 40% 3pt new version self over 14 games in the bubble?
Now again, don't get me wrong, I like THJ. I think he is a valued scorer and he has the ability to get scorching hot. The ultimate heat check. But it's a bit disconcerting seeing THJ already take a step back when it mattered most in the playoffs and everyone thinks that THAT is the outlier and not the efficient shooting he had.
To answer your question its a concern but very small sample size. Paul George is a 6 time all-star and he played terrible. It happens. If THJ underperforms in the playoffs then ya its an issue. That's why I am team Buddy Hield. I don't know if he will be better in the playoffs but I think he's an overall more talented player than THJ.
