That’s what I mean by improvement. I also see shooting a basketball for what it is. A skill that’s difficult to master and it takes years sometimes. If he shoots 40% from 3 he’s easily worth 20-25m a year. He’s not gonna do that. If he does 35% that’s league average. I know how these averages work though from a basketball standpoint. The most difficult part is consistency which is why Bey got traded. One month you can shoot 40% the next 30% and you get 35% average but it doesn’t mean you’re an average shooter. You could be good it just didn’t go down for some games and some games it did. How to show you’re a good shooter is what you’re scoring in practice not just the game. I know how sports works and a lot goes on behind the scenes than what fans think. The best example I could give you is every year fans doubt a player coming out of the G league or this year OTE. Shaedon Sharpe turned out to be a great prospect. Twins are great prospects. It’s not black and white. There’s a lot of gray area in sports. When it comes to the worst record in the league, you’re bound to look bad and the team is just that bad. That’s cuz they’re a bunch of rookies. I think that changes this year because of Cade Monte Morris and Monty Williams. You’ll notice a different smoother game just because the point guards will run the offense smoother and not Killian.

Um, clearly Stewart has improved at 3 point shooting since we drafted him. It sounds pretty darn silly to say otherwise…
It's undeniable that he shot more threes last year. Calling that an improvement is debatable since his 3pt percentage was below league average.
And purely percentage-wise from year to year he hasn't improved his 3pt shot.
Saying otherwise is literally inventing things. Clearly if you are drawing other conclusions then you aren't looking at the same numbers I am...
And bringing Cade’s numbers into this is irrelevant in evaluating whether Stewart improved or not.
I hope he's way better shooting the 3 this year. It would go a long way towards solving our problems at the 4. But we've seen no indication he's going to be other than him saying he's worked on it a lot this offseason.
