[I]“In high school, I shot above 40 percent from 3,’’ Starling said. “I’m making sure it goes back up to that.’’[/I]
** It's high school.

[I]Starling’s shooting workouts are designed to refine his shooting form. Instead of tallying the number of shots taken, he’s focused on taking only quality shots, each one replicating the motion and stroke needed to be a reliable 3-point shooter.[/I]
** Career 3PT%: 29.6%

I won't paste any more of the article in since it's paywalled, but JJ has to focus on what he can do (attack lanes and make buckets from like 6' and in; use his ability to work angles when he gets lift attacking the rim), what he should do (be way more choosy in his jump shooting and getting his jump shot FGA numbers down; getting to the FT line and getting that % up) and then, as you note, be effective on D (that is a universal for all players/coaches).

Obviously glad he is working on his jump shot for when he does take it, but I would be shocked if he got to 40% or anywhere near it.
