What's the question? Almost all can as shown by last season's percentage, maybe except Ja, Sharpe and Trae. It's just been 4 games. One high shooting game and some of those might be back well into the 40 or 50% range.

All of them can. Durant and Towns are probably the most likely because 36% would be one of the lowest percentages of their respective careers. Banchero least likely because 36% would be a huge improvement for him.

I’d be more interested in guys over performing, because they may have developed in the offseason . For the rest I’ll take regression to the mean any time.
