Phil Pressey has skills, but needs a better shot

The knock on Pressey has been his offensive game. He's a capable of floor general, but his jump shot is inconsistent and teams will challenge him to shoot. According to Synergy Sports data, Pressey averaged a mere 0.725 points per play, ranking in just the 26th percentile among all league players this preseason. But Synergy also logs a measure called plays + assists and, add in his 24 helpers, and that points per play rockets to 1.375, ranking in the 93rd percentile. For comparisons sake, Clippers point guard Chris Paul averaged 1.399 points per play + assists this preseason.
