DeRozan 3pt stats/rankings this season

[spurs1990]

Apologies in advance to DeRozan fans for beating horses tbh.... just posting some raw DeRozan 3pt data points in this remarkable season:

• 23 out of 61 games without a 3pt Attempt; 13 games with a 3pt make
• Most attempts in game - 6 in his 8th game of season at Lakers
• Most makes in game - 3 ; twice - 2nd and 5th game of season
• 28 straight games without a 3pt make until the last game vs Phx (went 0-17 in those 28 gms)
• 7 straight games without a 3pt ATTEMPT until last game vs Phx

First table below is where his 19 3pt makes places league wide.
If there's 30 teams, not being in the top 300 equates to average of 10 players on every team putting a better effort than you on this stat.
(His 74 3pt attempts put him at #299 in league rank.)

And DeRozan is a ball-dominating, jump-shooting, big guard. Shooting is his bread and butter.

The Spurs bringing this guy back. For multiple years. At a near max salary. As a franchise anchor.
I can't see it. The 3pt shot is too critical in this league.

Spurs as a team ranked dead last in both makes and attempts for this season.

Looking at his career numbers, he made a total of 35 3pt in 206 Spurs games.
That's less than half the makes in his last season in Toronto. That's inexcusable. But Popovich shoulders blame for not imploring him to shoot more. DeRozan clearly just decided to eliminate that out of his game once he got to South Texas.

How many times he stepped on the line when taking that shot I lost count.

Move on.

[John B]

I think he tried earlier in the season, almost attempting a 3 every game. It's all in his mind. Even his 3's are so close to the line, a lot he's stepping on the line. He will never going to change.

But he has climbed back from 80??? to 29th on EPSN rating

[DeRozan m8]

Yep...the game moved on (for worse obviously) but he hasn't moved with it.

Which is fine for some players...but if you're trying to earn superstar money, and your job is to shoot and score (even more so considering the D ain't the greatest), and you can't hit the 3, then you're absolutely delusional.

[The Truth #6]

29th??? Sure.
