Update: McGrady, a 44.7 percent shooter in his career, is making 40.9 percent of his shots this season. A career 35.4 percent 3-point shooter, he is making 28.3 percent of his 3s, the Houston Chronicle reports.

Recommendation: In the past four games, even with the miracle minute, he has made 36.8 percent of his shots. While he has spoken about going more up-tempo, feeling more comfortable and drawing more fouls, McGrady has not been able to put together a consistent scoring streak. The most consistent part of his offensive game has been as a playmaker. But teammates have not been able to reliably take advantage of the shots he has gotten them. In short, McGrady will continue to produce, but in coach Jeff Vandy Gundy's system and with the teammates he has, he might not duplicate the lofty numbers he's put up the past few seasons.
