Oladipo's regression from 3 point range

I've been noticing this too, but I didn't realize the numbers looked quite this bad.


Victor Oladipo’s regression from 3-point range has been feared since he came out of the gates hot. It started out slowly but has really hit hard since the new year.

If we look at his shooting month by month, it’s impossible to miss the issue Oladipo and the Pacers will be facing come playoff time. He hit 46% in October, 43% in November, 41% in December, 31% in January, and 23% in February. Yikes.

It’s not all doom and gloom. Dipo has remained effective overall from the field, dipping just slightly below his pre-2018 numbers. He’s still been a big net positive overall and continues to hit the glass while upping his assist numbers

Although he is still playing with a lot of energy, I think he is also showing some signs of getting tired more easily. The same could be said for some of the others as well. I think it shows in three point shooting because of the way players have to "get their legs into the shot".

I think this is contributing to the increase in turnovers too.
