Joe hasn't shot as well as we need him to. If he can improve / show better shot selection, then he might be around 35%.
I believe that Joe has improved his shot selection.
Last half of this year, his shot selection changed.
Last year and the first half of this year, over 60% of his shots were from 3.
Second half of this year, that figure dropped to 51%.
In addition, his 2pt FG%, which was 39% last year and dropped to 34% for this first half of this year, improved to 44% over the latter half of this season.
In essence, in the 2nd half of this season, he took more twos, relative to 3s, and made more of them.
My gut also tells me, although this is not backed up by the statistics, is that he was taking better 3s ie. more open looks closer to the line rather than contested 3s and thirty footers.
What I don't know is, if this is true, whether it will result in a higher 3 pt shooting percentage next year or whether Joe is simply a low 30s 3 point shooter.
His form tells me that he is a better shooter than that and, if he just continues to take good shots, that percentage should increase.
We shall see.
