Again the only player that has exceeded Hield at 3pt shooting since he's come into the league when both volume and efficiency are taken into account is Steph Curry. Lillard is close as well.
That kind of shooting is enough to forego some defense. Especially in the playoffs. He's having a down year this year by his standards, but I think that's him being mentally checked out of SAC at this point.
The last couple of years they have not really looked that different. Its been three seasons since he has had a truly dominate year.
I realize he shoots a really high volume, but his offensive output is in Timmy's ballpark and not even close to Steph and Lillard (based on scoring per game and advanced on/off impact like EPM and Lebron). He is you classic 6th man (he is not even starting for Sacto) just like THJ, and I am not interested in paying 23 mil for that.
