A lot of people who criticized his three-point shooting didn't look a lot of the context too. He took a lot of very... Experimental shots in Europe. His spot up numbers were solid. It was his off the dribble and pull up three point. Looks where he struggled. The extra spacing combined with him getting more spot up opportunities is really going to help him this year

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
