wihout the three is a 17M type player. with a three you are talking max dollars. he would be a better otto porter with elite defense.
draymond isnt a great three point shooter. he had 1 year he was good from three. 30% the last 2 seasons. woudlnt take much for rondae to be in that range
I think You're drastically overrating RHJ. If He's fetching that kind of money, we should not extend him early.
I'm not as high in my assessment of RHJ as Prok is, but RHJ with a 35-37% 3PT shot on 1.5 3PApg is a very valuable player.
- He can lead a fastbreak and make the appropriate 1st pass.
- He's an ELITE midrange shooter.
His FG% by distance breakdown is: .492 10-16ft / .488 16ft < 3pt / .245 3P
His % of FGA by distance breakdown is: .206 10-16ft / .070 .488 16ft < 3pt / .080 3P
He's shooting almost 50% between 10ft and the 3pt line and this is with opposing teams KNOWING that he doesn't have 3pt range.
Not only would having a reliable 3pt shot make him more of a prolific scorer, he'd provide more spacing on offense.
Quincy Acy (who actually wasn't too bad on the Knicks) only has 1 NBA skill in 3pt shooting. If RHJ can simply do what Acy does, which is shoot 33.1% from 3 on 4 attempts per game, he's going to have a dynamic that makes him super multifaceted on offense.
Couple that with his already great defense, I don't know how he wouldn't be worth $20mil annually in the open RFA market.
