Could he keep it up? Absolutely. Could he tank his three point shooting? Absolutely.
Did you know that Josh Green is one of the best 2PT shooters in the NBA already? He is 12th in the NBA, shooting 62.5%, right behind Jokic at 62.6%. Never mind that he only has 24 total career two point shots under his belt.
I know you didn't like Bane going into the draft but do not let your biases get in the way of reality.
It is not hyperbole. I guess I could be more specific to avoid getting somebody's panties all bunched up but yes, Desmond Bane is one of the best 3PT shooters in the NBA this season thus far. He is making 1.9 three's per game, which is about the career average of Seth Curry, one of your favorites, remember? Seth has 60 3PT attempts so far, and Bane is at 50.
Your apples to oranges comparison of MVP level player Jokic 262 2PT attempts vs Garbage Time Green's 24 attempts is not even worth arguing about.
I recall many Mavs fans (I know you were one of them) posting last season how Seth Curry was not only the best 3PT shooter in the league, but in the history of the NBA!!! He is also better than his brother Steph!! Not hyperbolic at all because he was a Mav. No body cared to point out the sample size or context of those 3PT shots being attempted.
Anyways, Desmond Bane is on pace to have an elite shooting 3PT season. Never said he was the best, just one of the best [thus far]. I am sorry if that is hyperbolic. I made the comment based on his quick trigger, 3PT versatility, and his track record in college. But maybe he turns into Dennis Smith Jr., who knows.
