You really need to get over the project comment :lol

Technically what I said is that he is more of a project than you realize. You try to dismiss what he did in college as if it isn't relevant yet his current TS is actually identical to what it was in college.

66% ts as a starter. 42% off the bench to start the year off the bench after being out almost a week with the flu. Keep looking at his past when he is all about whats next. Just starting to work on his body.

The highest the guy hes looking to replace on mt. Rushmore had 66% ts. 2nd in the league. Hes 14th all time at 62%. 60% as a 21/22 year old rookie with 3 years of college and an olympics. 6th in league. Roty. HOF :bowdown:

23 min a game.
2 off reb
1.5 stl
14 pts
54% fg
41% 3pt

Ace gets to the foul line 2 times per 36 minutes. He still loves long 2s while shooting them at 40%.

Hard to be efficient with those numbers.

20-29 from 2 as a starter. Free throw area appeared to be his best spot so i can see why he would like that but with his 3 ball falling from everywhere that is changing fast

:lol

Ace started against the Lakers on Tuesday but still shot 1-6 from 3 and didn't get to the foul line once. What's your excuse for that?

Hes a rookie playing a role not as a main ball handler? That article said they are just starting to work on his body. Look at keyonte. From Young Bum to one of the top foul drawers in the league over one off season

So why did he go 1-6 from 3? I thought being a starter magically made him a better shooter.

Hes not? He is supposed to hit his shots every night? Name one player who didnt have an off shooting night? Probably should put the ball on the floor when it wasnt falling. Good thing he is 19 and will only get better despite him supposedly not getting better since last year

Doesnt qualify i guess

Ryan Kalkbrenner: 82.2% (CHA)
Goga Bitadze: 77.9% (ORL)
Nikola Jokić: 73.3% (DEN)
Harrison Barnes: 72.4% (SAS)
Jalen Duren: 70.6% (DET)
Rudy Gobert: 68.7% (MIN)
Keon Ellis: 66.7% (SAC)
Christian Braun: 66.1% (DEN)

But I thought being a starter all of a sudden made him a lights out shooter?

Or maybe it's just random variance. Funny that he shoots 90% from the foul like as a reserve, 71% as a starter.

He isnt joe ingles but 41% is lights out to some. Hit one from 3 feet behind the line last nite. Spot up. Step back. Maybe not pull up so much from there yet but certainly in the mid range where he is sucking obviously based on his 20-29 from 2. The numbers tell a different story than what he did in 1 season as an 18 year old in the big 10 or coming off the bench and the flu

Or maybe you are just looking at things through rose colored glass. His TS is 53.7% now, 53.6% in college.

Everyone gets more efficient if you take out their bad games :lol
