Kas shot 8/30 (26.7%) on traditional step-backs

12/23 (52.2%) on side step-backs (10 of the makes were to his left)

4/14 (28.6%) on hop-backs

44.4% of his 3's made were step-backs

He shot 35.8% on total step-back 3’s

39.2% of his total attempted 3’s were some form of a step-back

35.4% on catch-and-shoot 3’s

Thanks! I didn't realize the numbers would be that detailed. Great information.

So if 39.2% were step back 3's, I assume the other categories are regular pull ups and catch and shoot? Would it be possible to have those broken down on percentage of attempts as well? Do you have a comparison to other draft prospects on how many step backs he took?

If you don't have time to answer my questions. No problem and I understand. I appreciate you looking in to it and responding.

They aren’t that detailed I went back and watched all of his threes to get you these numbers.

Wow, that is dedication.

After watching all of Kas's 3pt shots do you have any opinions?

My hypothesis is that he is going to be a very good shooter in the NBA and that his percentages don't reflect how good he is because of the level of difficulty of his shots.

I would agree. Made me reconsider my thoughts on him. I will be moving him up on my next big board.

His step-back three percentage is very good all things considered. That is a hard shot and a very nice skill/trait to have.

He shot 41% from 3 in his first 19 games. I think that is much more accurate than what he ended up at. The difficultly of his shots and threes are a lot higher than other prospects. Not a ton off of screens or a ton of wide open ones.

I like him, but he’s not in my top 5 and the Jazz (mercifully) locked that up.

Flagg, Harper, Bailey, Edgecombe and Johnson. I feel good about any of them ending up with the Jazz, and then more excitement as you move up the list.

I agree. He will likely be 6th for me. Problem is the Jazz might not agree with that.

Tony Jones has been hyping up Tre Johnson quite a bit and said he’d be in the mix for 3-5 for the Jazz. I’m not sure if that’s intel he’s getting or if he’s doing that to comfort us in the event we do fall to 5.

Someone sold me on starting at 5, and then working your way up the list as the lottery unfolds.

Tre Johnson - Pretty damn happy.
VJ Edgecombe - Pretty damn happy.
Ace Bailey - Damn near ecstatic.
Dylan Harper - Ecstatic and elated.
Cooper Flagg - Over the effing moon.

The Jazz need talent, and these are all talented kids. I just hope the coaching staff is ready to help fine tune them once they get here.
