Sure we won't stay at 45%, but we have surrounded Giannis/Jrue/Khris with shooters and teams aren't able to keep tabs on everyone. The high 3 point percentage 1/10th a way through the season is no stroke of luck...
Agree to a point. Midds, Forbes, Augustin, Nwora, and Merrill, these are pure shooters, the latter 4 getting lots of wide open shots. They're going to make a bunch of them, it's no fluke. Those latter 4 guys are just better, purer distance shooters than we've had in past.
Jrue, DDV, Brook, Pat, those guys are *not* really pure, true-blue distance guys. I think they are likely to take some dive.
The question is how much. Last year, Brook and DDV weren't consistent at all. It's possible that some of DDV's improvement is real, and may be variably sustainable?

This is a good point. Jrue is not the best shooter that we've got. If other guys are scoring and the offense is firing, he doesn't need to shoot or score a lot.
