Just realized Middleton missed out on 50/40/90 by .003 in his FG%.  The horror! 

Wish he was doing that this year (at least for my fantasy team).

*edit for context because I did this in the moment.  I posted this after his first 3pt shot of this OKC game.  MAN....that kid can shoot. that. damn. ball.

He stays shot ready - his hands are always ready for the catch.

Had no idea Ty Jerome was hooping like that. 18 minutes per is substantial.
He must’ve been hurt and/ or down in Santa Cruz.  I’d try to find every reason possible to reduce Poole’s minutes.

I forgot about ole Snelly.  Man offensive rating was 135 that year lol.

Novak was my man.  White Joe Ingles kinda reminds me of him.

Brogdon and McConnell jump shot layup shooting asses lol

AJ % might be higher with a guy running at him than wide open lol.

One thing I love is how he reacts to being run off the three, which teams are obviously prioritizing.  He navigates his way into making the pass that he wants to make, not the one the defense wants him to.  He gets off the ball as opposed to being forced so the offense continues to flow.  He spaces extremely well afterward too.

If you showed me his league-adjusted shooting without context I would think it was Mike Conley’s best season.  That boy gonna be an impact player at 35.

Shooting 48,2% from field, 39.5% from three, and 88.9% from the line. 

Someone else said this, but he very well could have a 50, 40, 90 season as a rookie. I know it's on low volume, but how often has that been done?

He needs to get his free throw rate up a beat before I think he can turn into a true superstar, but that could just be him buying into his role as a rookie.  

The kid is special!

He has to have at least 125 MADE Free-throws to be acknowledged.

Is that for the overall season or to this point in the season?

overall season - he won't get a 'welcome to the 50/40/90 club without the made attempts.

He is a long way off.  He needs 103 more attempts over the next 33 games.
