His March has obviously been a bit nutty and we are only halfway through so that number should come down, but this is pretty promising. As for the Burke comparison, his best TS% month his rookie season was 51.5% (the only month over 50%). His second year he had no months over 50%, his third year his best month was 54%TS, and his 4th year he had 1 month at 61% but otherwise most were in the 40s.
Cooled off in March in a big way, seemed to coincide with effectively having to be a 1st/2nd option on offense and inserting the other rookies into the offense.

Had a slight uptick to end the season.

I think he started to settle into a larger role in March + teams were sitting some players. Overall I'm not encouraged or discouraged by his shooting, I think it was very typical of rookie guards and his career can obviously go many directions. With his apparent intelligence in breaking down film and his potential as a shooter + work ethic (totally transformed his body in one summer) I have some faith that he's going to be a solid NBA player, it's just a question of if he's more DLo/Clarkson or Murray if things go well.
