Comparable rookie years to Keyonte's. (I thought I had linked just the PER 36 min section of each player) Just look at the rookie year Per 36 min

If he can get that fg% over 40 and 3fg% over 35, suddenly it doesn't look as disastrous anymore. And with the way he's been playing that should be well possible.

It never looked disastrous. Eyeball test always claimed and still does that he will be a good shooter. "How good" remains to be seen, but I think its already fair to say that the reactions to his sluggish start were overreactions.
 
It's 2024, fg% is pretty much irrelevant. Keyonte's 3FG volume and FTr look really good. His 3FG% is decent, I think he will get there. One big improvement he will have to make on offense is that while he gets to the line, he does not get a lot of shots at the rim and heavily prefers his floaters. 8.5% of his shots are at the rim compared to 22.5% from floater range. Evening that out would do wonders for his efficiency and I think it will require both physical and mental maturity.

Preemptive apology to anyone who is in exploration mode and gets butthurt by that last suggestion.

I counted that if he holds the same volume and pace from last 15 games and plays all remaining 26 games, he will end up at 40.7%/36.8%.

Its fair to assume the volume is gonna be higher though so the FG% could be higher in the end, but on the other hand his 3P% from last 15 may also be higher than its gonna be for the next 26 (as its 40.5% in that stretch).

Exactly this. I'm surprised by the FG%-focused posts in this thread.

Year 1 TS% comparison:
Keyonte: .541 (and trending up)
Damian Lillard: .546
Donovan Mitchell: .541
Devin Booker: .535
Tyrese Maxey: .531
Dwyane Wade: .530
Jamal Murray: .518
Dante Exum: .457

There's plenty to work on, but the year 1 overall shooting numbers (and trend) for a player his age and size are not bad.

Another guy I looked at was D'Angelo Russell. I have been thinking that a Dlo + with a better mental approach was kinda a good outcome. Key was quite a bit more efficient and shows a knack for getting to the line that I think has hurt Russell... Its good the shot making has improved. I thought it would but there were some stretches where I really started to wonder.
