Tobias shot 34.5% from three last season.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

He started out horrible but finished strong.

Post all-star break he was over 40% and pre he was 32.5% but I remember his first few games he couldn't hit anything.... 3 of 20 (15%) in October and I think he started November off rough as well.

Probably closer to a 39% from deep shooter if you took out his first 10 games of the season.
