Same.

His 2 point percentage could go up or down, depending on how well defenses adjust to him and how well he adjusts to them. There is also a lot of opportunity for the team to figure how to get him easier buckets off cuts, lobs, pnr. He's so good at finishing around the rim, that I actually see a lot of potential improvement here.

His 3 point percentage will go down. But by how much? He only takes them when he's wide open and feeling it. He passes up open and good looks quite often.

Free throw percentage? No idea. 90 is so high, but with this kind of start, he has to be a good enough shooter to maintain 80, right?

It's so interesting and I love watching him play!

Shooting and free throw shooting is subject to fatigue and getting banged up as well. I don’t want to pull the “he’s skinny” card, but he very well might struggle to hold up over 80 games.
