THJ was a confident 31% three shooter before coming here. THT is a confident three shooter. Things change from year to year for players, esp when they’re young.


I did say “might” with “be better” not “would”. Also, I’m not as worried as some of you all are about where the offense comes from. I would also prefer to not rely so much on the 3 shot. I also am hoping that DFS becomes much more consistent with his 3 next year.

Of course THT can improve but I wouldn´t gamble on it. His percentages actually declined compared to his first season. Might as well hope that Josh Green can improve.
 THJ shot 31.7% from in 17/18. in 18/19 he shot 34.7% from 3. 34.4% for his pre Mavs career. Catch and shoot usually in the 36%+ range. It was never about his shooting ability. More about shot selection.

But that doesn´t even matter. The Mavs have one of 15 guys that shoots >39% from 3 on more than 7 attempts. If they lose him they need a replacement that can make up for at least some of it. Spacing has been an issue this season and even though THJ is streaky he is the only guy that other teams guard closely on the perimeter. The Mavs should try to improve the 3-point shooting. Not tank it.
