We also need to consider he doesn't take that many shots because there are many "hungry hands" in the team. Yesterday his offense would be great if only he would hit 2 threes more. Even with 1-8 from three he had 16 points. I still maintain he is providing what we need from his role. Defending PG/SG and providing adequate offense. And I still think his % will improve. If we take into account the rule of averages, his second half of the season will be awesomeAnd yet, when looking at draft possibilities, we use FT% as an indicator of 3pt ability? Or so it was explained to me by board contributors last off season.
Btw: he is at 24 consecutive FT scored.
Does the measure become less valid once a player has some pro seasons behind him?
