Giannis for his
career shoots 28% from three and 35% from sixteen feet to the three-point line.
After calibrating all his miss fundamentals together against the rest of the
NBA I can conclude that he is really between a 30%-32% three- point
shooter.
Giannis has one big problem that is affecting his shot
delivery, which in turn is affecting his shooting percentages. That problem is
the fade/lean in his shot, which throws off his balance and inhibits the lift
he gets. He is very similar to Marcus Smart where neither of them make other
mistakes at a high rate, but because they fade/lean so often they aren’t able
to be efficient shooters. Giannis is young enough where this problem can be
minimized; eliminating it from his shot shouldn’t be the focus, just minimizing
it.
In terms of the good things he does, Giannis is really good
with his feet. His feet are off balance 5% of his misses per one hundred missed
shots, while elite shooters are on average at 12% or less. Also, he does a
pretty good job with his hands. Even though he is outside the elite percentile,
it isn’t by much. Finally, his form and
release point are both good; he releases very high and a fluid shot. If he
minimizes his fade/lean I believe he could shoot 35% from three.
