Here's how Victor's season averages would look with the threes removed. He's such a terrible shot from three.
- 15.1 ppg, 10.2 rpg, 2.6 apg, 1.3 spg, 2.7 bpg, 3.3 topg
- 50.9% FG, 57.0% TS, 81.8% FT
Here's what his shot profile/distribution looks like with the threes removed:
0-3 feet: 34.5% of FGAs
3-10 feet: 27.4% of FGAs
10-16 feet: 19.4% of FGAs
16+ feet: 18.6% of FGAs
Cut out the threes and focus on the mid-range shot. Add size, strength, and power while maintaining flexibility, fluidity, and a lean and athletic body fat percentage. An extra 25-30 pounds within 3-5 seasons will allow him to get an extra 3-4 easy shots near the rim per game that he's currently not due to subpar physical strength and conditioning. Continue to develop toward a 40-45%+ mid-range shot. Play more physically and aggressively to draw more fouls.
Victor is currently shooting 71.7% on shots from 0-5 feet. 4 more of those shots a game at 71.7% FG = 2.87 field goals made x 2 = 5.74 points + 1.27 points from 1.56 free throws (I removed the threes to find the 2pt free-throw rate) = 7 points added to 15.1 ppg = 22.1 ppg on 61.7% TS.
A bigger Anthony Davis seems more and more like the most realistic player comparison. An elite mid-range shot (45%+) will take his game to another level and add a tonne of situational value (in the clutch, late in the shot clock/on broken plays)
