Oof! Trentyn Flowers got waived. Such a shame.

35.6% from deep? Truly thot it was in the 20s. I cringe when he takes that shot. Not much better than Dunn’s .335. FTs usually tell the all around shooting story. 71.3 for DJJ and 68 for KD = crap FT %s for pros.
My metric is that a good FT % leads to good outside shooting. One example of many: Denver’s C. Braun hits 82.7 FTs and nearly 40% from deep. So, any poor 3 pt shooter should not only work on that shot but his FTs as well.

If he can hit open 3s at a good percentage, it will be tough to keep him off the court. If he can’t, he will get played off the court against the good teams. He’s undersized for the power forward spot and is best used as a SF wing. That’s why Collins at the power forward spot and Beal at the guard spot are a better fit than DJJ.
