Yes I did jump to some conclusions there. I retract the starting bit, as it is possible to get 30+ mpg from the bench.
Please enlighten me with your narrative, because clearly I am off on how you think Handsy will do this his rookie year.
I did some math to see what it would take to have those numbers and break DM's rookie 3pt makes record.
He will have to shoot 459 threes to make 188 at a 41% clip. If he plays all 82, that would be 5.59 3pt shots per game. Not unheard of, DM shot 7 per game.
If Grayson takes 50% of his shots from 3, he would have to shoot 67% from 2 in order to have a 54% overall percentage.
He would be taking 11.19 shots per game. He would have to take .73 free throws per game.
He would have 6.88 ppg on 3's, 7.51 ppg on 2's, and .62 ppg from free throws, to get to the 15ppg average.
I would love it if he had this type of year. I'm skeptical though.
I post all this crap, to show I didn't jump to conclusions, they are realistic and based on something called math. There was not much in the way of jumping, but more in the way of calculating.
You threw out some numbers, to get there, Grayson will have to play some serious minutes, and shoot quite a bit, and play every game.
