2629964, Last year, he had the best NBA range 3-pt% of any guard

And he's been taking the same type of shots with equivalent spacing this season...he simply hasn't made them yet. So yes, his shooting % from distance will tick back up and yes at that point you will start making the asinine argument that he's trying to pad his stats (which you're already trying to set-up).

He also had a top 3 shooting % in the paint last year but that will take more time to acclimate in the NBA because of the physicality of the league and his current lack of ability to absorb contact well (something not lost on him - it's his requisite response when asked about the biggest diff between college and the NBA, and what he needs to work on most).

In sum, you will continue to fabricate arguments and use anecdotal clips because that's what you do. The reality is BI's usage rate is higher than either Lonzo or Kuzma's so he's getting a greater share of touches, and PPP, BI iso's are not very effective and to his credit, unlike yourself, he has absorbed that info and has cut down on his iso takes.
