And I couldn't be happier with his current play. He keeps this up and we'll no longer have to hear that he can't play with PG13 and Bron.. Not that those perspectives have any bearing on reality, was just annoying to hear lol. |

lol you want to declare him a legit shooter after just 3 games. I said it's encouraging and looks better, to take anything for from it than that, is just optimism |

His improvements this past month has been very encouraging. Too bad they went away from him down the stretch this game, we probably could’ve extended the winning streak

This is a bit misleading shooting wise... this is only his 3rd good 3pt shooting game in those 8games....... ok one other game he went 1-1.
Misleading as all of his shooting numbers have been this year(when they were horrible as well. Low attempts skew things. Every couple weeks he dips to 30-32%)
The shot looks better though, yea I'll give him that it's encouraging. But it's been 3 games |
I was basing this on the last 8 games in one package, also included the last 3 games. But in the end, thus far in 51 games he is at 37%+... |

| @KIROE.. The thing is boss.. no one has declared him a knock down shooter. I just don't see why you felt the need to point that out. We're all just happy he's trending in the right direction. No one has made any declarations. Posting data, that confirms that he is indeed on an upward tick as far as shooting is concerned isn't something I'd characterize as being overly optimistic. |

Everyone is posting like he's for sure turned a corner shooting.. it's been 3 very encouraging games. |

| You don't get to 37% from three as a lousy shooter, I don't care what your volume is. |

Yeah, he’s had a couple stretches of hot shooting games, and you can see how it opens stuff up for him. The question is whether this is a trend or just another hot stretch. Hoping the former.

3 game package 3point shooting wise. But the rest is a legit 8 game package. He is trending real nice overall in these past 8 games... |

I think he has turned a corner.. I think at the least you can say he's no longer a terrible shooter.. at the least.
That's cause to celebrate, that's cause for optimism. |

This could be true, but I think he is rounding the corner, not around it by any means, but 8 games is getting there at 51% from the field and 19PPG... |

Stop it.. lol.. I'm not triggered, I just found your commentary amusing. Trying to convince us he's not as good of a shooter as we think he is.. as if we proclaimed him the next Ray Allen. |

The "commentary" was more optimistic than you just put it yourself. And the "context" was just that..
Idk what's so negatively amusing about that..but ok |
