So Karaban was a 40% three point shooter in his first 8 games right after the concussion and then he became an 11% three point shooter over his last 7 games because of a concussion he had 76 days ago?
Sure...
Karaban was a 41% three point shooter his first 5 games last season before going 17% from three his next 4 games. Later on last season he shot 48% from three over 4 games before going 18% from three over his next 4 games. The reality is he's a wildly streaky shooter who is on a terrible streak and he's pressing.
Furthermore and not as a dig, but a lot of his big games last year were against bad teams and bad defenses.
He was 8-29 from 3 in the tourney, 27%.
If you remove the cupcakes and 3 worst BE teams last year in DePaul/Gtown (who were historically abysmal) and Butler (who had an awful defense), he shot 29% from 3 last year. Now you put him in a lead role, and here you have it.
Here's the reality folks - he's an average shooter. He has a quirky corkscrew release that is not designed to be efficient, but if you can get him time/space to work it, he's made it work. We have to get him back to a level where he's at least a threat, but Alex isn't a guy that was ever burning nets. I'd honestly have to think at the NBA level they'd reconstruct his release.
A ton of his overall efficiency last year was a product of teammates and back cuts, etc.
