Kyrie for his career shoots 38% from three and
45% from 16 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
38%-40% three-point shooter.
Kyrie has good form, a fluid shot, and a good
release point, which are big positives for any player. Also, he does a does a great
job of holding his hands; he has a 24% drop hands rate per 100 missed shots,
which is in the elite shooters percentile. Along with this, he has a high
number of good misses, which is a trait all elite shooters share. If Kyrie
minimizes the couple of fundamental errors he currently commits he will shoot
into the 40’s from three consistently.
Kyrie commits a couple fundamental errors that
are affecting his shot. First, he fade/leans a lot, 37% of his misses to be
exact; this is 12% over the elite shooters average of 25%. Second, he shoots at
the peak of his shot or on the way down, especially when shooting off the
dribble. This causes flat/short misses because he isn’t getting the lift or arc
that he needs on his shot. Both of these errors are causing Kyrie to miss short
at a 40% rate; elite shooters miss short on only 25% of their misses. Missing
short doesn’t give the ball a chance and it usually always means a player made a
fundamental mistake during their shot.
