Curry in his second year matching Garlands timeline, hit 44.5% on 4.6 threes a game.

The key is for him not to panic when things are going bad and start forcing stuff ala the Celtics game when teams start rain ing threes and the offense gets stuck. It just makes these things worse.

He is now shooting 43% on 6 three point attempts a game, would love to see him attempt 8+ a game

This was shocking to me.

35% is good, anything above 35% is great, and anything above 40% is elite three-point shooting.

The only other player in the NBA this season averaging 6.1+ threes per game while averaging 42.9%+ is Curry.

Darius is making good choices on when to launch a 3. At his height he needs space to get the shot off without rushing it or changing the trajectory too much.

Yes, he should be shooting more from deep in general.

But on the final possessions everyone knows that him and Mitchell are hunting shots.

That pass to Okoro was beautiful. More of that please.

Yeah we need to get better at exploiting his great shooting to generate easy shots for others. It somehow feels like either he tries to break down the defense by dribbling or else when he's feeling it he just launches from 30 feet away. We need to amplify his gravity. The Warriors were brilliant at this with Curry.
