His 3-point numbers last season are a bit misleading. If you just look at catch and shoot opportunities he was around 34% on pretty good volume. While that's nothing spectacular for a 18/19-year-old playing in a extremely physical league where perimeter play is more difficult. That's promising

It was the step back and pull up three point numbers that killed him. He shot around 20% on those shots and he took quite a few of them. He was given a lot of leeway to experiment and call his own number last season. I expect the Spurs will rain in some of his liberal decision making when it comes to when to shoot threes. His release looks really good
