I like Coby, I hope he gets it!

I've seen it mentioned a few times in this thread about how one of Coby's strengths is his catch-and-shoot ability so I decided to go look it up.
Last year Coby shot
163/454 on all three point attempts, a rate of 35.9%
121/333 on catch-and-shoot attempts, a rate of 36.3%
42/121 on off the dribble attempts, a rate of 34.7%
So yea, like 79% of his 3s last year were already catch and shoot and he hit them at about league average. Don't know where the perception he's like JJ Reddick came from.
I think either Doug or Coldfish posted that he was only like 37% when wide open, when most good three point shooters are well above 40%. Not only where guys not bothering to guard him, he didn't even make them pay enough.
