PASCAL SIAKAM THREE-POINT PERCENTAGE UPDATE: Pascal Siakam is now shooting 17 percent from beyond the arc.
But for some reason he keeps shooting them. He must be nailing them in practice, but maybe he doesn’t realize this obvious fact about the NBA: EVERYONE nails their threes in practice. You can find clips of basically every non-shooting bigman hitting a couple in an empty gym. Real shooters hardly ever miss in that setting. Shooting in-game is a whole different beast, and it’s a beast that Siakam has definitely not tamed yet.
Among players with at least 100 attempts (he’s at exactly 100 right now, which makes my designation seem not so arbitrary, SWEET), he’s by far the worst percentage-wise. No one else is even close, even the very worst are still above 25 percent.
In conclusion: stop shooting threes, Pascal. It’s not working. I don’t care if you’re playing blowout minutes all the time and can do whatever you want.
