This is a classic NBA stat line.HoosierDawg said:
To be honest the lack of efficiency still kind of scares me at this point. I think he'll come around, but 18 points on 16 shots a game is not really that impressive. I get that he is a rookie. And you can see the physical gifts. But I am still not sold.
Right now he is basically the same thing it was a Georgia. Scoring a ton of points, on a ton of shots, playing for a terrible team.
31% from 3 and 46% from 2 is not helping your team win games, no matter what the point total winds up at.

There were zero guards in the all star game this year that weren't at least okay 3 point shooters. Not saying he won't figure it out but he is not even in the same range of shooter that Harden is at this point. Harden is like 36% for his career. Edwards doesn't need to be Steph Curry, but needs to get into that 34-36% range. Good enough to keep people honest. Teams shouldn't be able to go under ball screens constantly on your starting SG.CummingDawg22 said:This is a classic NBA stat line.HoosierDawg said:

That happens all the time.
You'll have Harden or someone score 35 with 20 FTs shooting like 3/12 from 3.
I hope he does. The shooting is the only piece missing, but it is a pretty big piece to be missing in today's NBA.Dirteater Dawg said:HoosierDawg said:

The kid is 19 and it will take him a few years to develop to be more efficient and to figure out the game more. He will be great in 3 years.
He's shooting 31.6% from 3 as a rookie. He also wasn't known for his shooting anyway. I'd be shocked if that doesn't improve 4% over time.HoosierDawg said:There were zero guards in the all star game this year that weren't at least okay 3 point shooters.
