Will Victor Wembanyama Shoot Better than 50% FG this Season?

[Hitman88]

The significant drop in 3PTA is the main reason for this. Can he sustain this?

[Bornstellar]

If he continues with the same shot diet, probably. Doubt he will be shooting 60% all season though

[tsherkin]

It's possible. Depends on how much he ends up leaning into the 3. He shot 53.4% inside the arc as a rookie and 58.6% last year, so there's no real question of if he CAN. The real question is will his shot selection permit him to do so, and it's looked quite promising so far.

Is this a joke? Lol. I mean he's 7'6/7'7. He's the goat lob threat. There is no one in the league that gets easier buckets than Wemby. And he doesn't force shots. He'll clear 50% easily. Now 60%. If it was a goal of his he could do it easily, but it really just comes down to his shot selection. If he takes more jumpers then maybe not. If he forgoes the midrange and really attacks the rim then yes.

So far, his 3 pts attempts went from 5.5 - 8.8 to 2.8 now. If he maintains that ratio, he will easily shoot over 50%.

[The4thHorseman]

Should he, yes. Will he, probably.

Easily, he is shooting 82.8 % at the rim. I don't care if he shoots like Barkley from three, he is too effective near the rim to fall below 50 %, and he knows that he needs to get more shots there.
