After the draft, Chet said he thought he could be 50/40/90. Did he bring this dream to the rest of OKC?

The Oklahoma City Thunder are shooting a blistering 55.5% from 2, 41.0% from 3, and 86.7% from the line. This is the recipe for their hot start despite being consistently out-rebounded night after night.

Is Chip Engelland a god after all? Obviously this has to come back to down Earth at some point, right?… right?

I cant say for sure that we are this good efficiency-wise

Oh I can - we're definitely not this good. That 41% mark from deep is not just leading the league this year, it's on par with the 15-16 Warriors and the SSOL Suns as the second or third highest percentage of all time. They'll definitely cool off a little.

The guys to monitor will be Lu and Chet, who are both en fuego at 46% at pretty high volume right now. Lu's form does look better and Chet has great touch, but I'd be amazed if they both finish above 40%, honestly even high 30s would be a success as far as I'm concerned.

Lu is also taking only open 3s, compared to past seasons where he was heaving off the dribble a lot though. Although im sure it still comes down
