Jimmy Butler Trades + Cavs and Thunder Dominance

Yeah, I guess. I think there's two I would highlight. The shot diet. I mean, he's taking less mid-range shots, which he's making a much lower percentage of them, too. He's a very good pull-up mid-range shooter last season, and I think... Charles Lee showed up and said, we're knocking those down. We're redirecting that shot diet. He's averaging, I think, over 11 threes per game this season.

I think 56% of his field goal attempts from beyond the arc. It's a lot. In a way, I think that's good, but I think some of that is a reliance of his inability to get into the paint and really be a guy that can play and finish through contact, which was something that if you scouted him pre-draft, that was going to be part of the hang-up with him, too.

I think the passing has shown up a little bit more. And he's always been a pretty good connector in transition. But you're seeing him, if he's able to get two guys on the ball, whether he's curling off of a down screen or running an empty side pick and roll, he's got the height to pass over the top and find the roller.

Or if it's another empty side look, he's showing a little bit more confidence with some of those pocket passes, hitting guys in space. And it's important to remember, too, that the context around him this year really isn't

that good i mean this is a bad offensive team there's not a lot of like secondary creation and shot making so when he's out there and if lamello's not playing then you know he goes to the top of the scouting report and that that's tough for a guy who's like really reliant you know on jumpers to kind of like get it going but i think the passing has made a leap and then you talked about their record they're what one in one in 16 in their last 17 games i think um

that one win came against the Indiana Pacers. T.J. McConnell almost beat them single-handedly in that game, but Miller made some big plays the final two to three minutes of that game on a few possessions in the first half, too, where Charlotte put the ball in his hands or used him as a screener and basically played match-up ball with him to go at Tyrese Halliburton.

And he, he was very successful against it. I know Halliburton's not a good defender. The Pacers, not a good defensive team. That was interesting to me. Um, because that I don't, I don't project Miller to be sort of like a, that kind of ball handler. Like I like him a lot as a player and a score.
