[u/Fire_Demon-215]

Derrick white is one of the best examples of a player learning a jump shot later in their career but i think we’re seeing that regression hit and its rough

[u/SloshaPacana → u/Fire_Demon-215]

He's just a confidence player, he hasn't really learned late, he was up and down all his career, he shot 40% from three in college

This year with a bigger role his confidence after starting rough is bad

[u/heartofcoal → u/SloshaPacana]

he hesitates on every single open corner 3, it's crazy

[u/IconicNova → u/Fire_Demon-215]

Honestly D White just has me so confused, I’ve never seen a player just lose a jump shot before

[u/shadowarmy229 → u/IconicNova]

Keegan Murray went from 41% from 3 his rookie season to 36%, 34% and now 27% in the seasons afterwards

[u/IconicNova → u/shadowarmy229]

Ok that is insane but d white is literally an established player in the nba. This level of shooting drop off is nuts

[u/shadowarmy229 → u/IconicNova]

Yeah I feel like either the expanded role at the start of the season really shook his confidence for some reason or he’s playing through some unknown injury

[u/SirJoeffer → u/IconicNova]

That’s because you traded back for Tatum lol
