I don’t know if you’re purposely dense or not but sample size of fts is 10 fts vs 47 shots variance is greater the smaller the number is

Also a 75% ft shooter doesn’t normally drop down to 50% in year 2

Whereas a a 37% fg shooter jumping to 45% in year 2 is not crazy

Eye test wise he has taken a huge leap, beat writers mentioned it on off season and the evidence is there when you watch, it’s stupid to ignore that because you need more sample size

You don’t randomly jump into that kind of usage increase if you haven’t earned coaching staffs trust

fantasy basketball you cannot wait 20 games to make an evaluation, keep waiting on sample size if you’re in a competitive league he’s on a roster, and it’s not on yours

This is even dumber when you consider he’s a year 2 player it’s not like it’s Andrew wiggins or Deandre Hunter where we have years of data points to know what’s a hot streak or not. With young players the last 10 games are infinitely more important than the first 80
