he is shooting well since december 1, unsustainably well (50/40/90 practically), and yet is slightly below league average scoring efficiency during that time. it's because %'s dont mean anything without the context of distribution. he's shooting 40% from three on limited attempts. 90% from the line on minimum attempts. the vast majority of his offense is 2pt shot attempts and those aren't particularly efficient for him, at least relative to the rest of the league.
maybe giddey crushes all expectations but i find this hot streak makes me skeptical of him even more, because i think almost any other player in the league shooting the %'s that giddey has been shooting since dec. 1 would be dominating.
Poor athleticism yet great vision and feel for the game, and movescwell in traffic.
Poor wingspan but one of the best rebounders for his position who racks up blocks and steals.
His shot is clearly improving and he's working with the best in the business. The fact people need to try and qualify his great percentages since Dec 1 is a very good sign.
