His shooting was so bad in that Duke exhibition it was a major red flag. He wasnt just missing, he is missing the rim. So far through 4 games he is 4-18 from 3 against cupcakes. If this continues it's pretty hard to make the case for him as a top 8 pick. He isn't dynamic taking it to the basket.
This is just the way I do things some people will differ. When it comes to 3-point shooting, I really weigh attempts heavily. The sample size is small and 3-point shooting fluctuates in low percentages. It tells me a lot that he's letting it fly at least 4 times a game. I also like the 3 assists a game. It's not crazy competition but 2 games with 5 assists.
Imo, it'd be a bigger red flag if he wasn't attempting them. Let's see where his average shakes out. But the potential is there if the 3-point shot falls. He's skilled for 6'10.
