Did this guy just find his three point stroke this season or what? I never thought he was a long range threat.
He always had 20-foot range with nice touch. He'd hit collegiate threes pretty regularly his final two seasons at Arizona. They said when he signed with Phoenix Gentry told him to get used to shooting behind the arc, that it was worth the hassle to get the extra point from that extra two feet.
He hit 6 total three pointers his final two seasons at Arizona. 6 total three point makes in 67 games. Wouldn't really classify that as "pretty regularly."
But, I agree that he's been a pretty solid jump shooter for basically his entire NBA career. Pretty consistent from about 18 feet. Extending his range was just a matter of putting in the work and practicing them, and then also getting the opportunity to shoot them. In Phoenix, he's really getting the green light to shoot them when he's open.
Becky Hammon is so hot; this thread is irrelevent
