The shooting ability is not bad! Will the Thunder s three-point shooting percentage increase significantly in the new season of the backcourt?

The American Media Sports Illustrated Thunder reporter Rylan Stiles talked about the Thunder's backcourt star Cason Wallace in the latest article. Since the Thunder's lineup in the new season is almost not much different from last season, this means that if the Thunder wants to make progress in the new season, they must rely on the self-improvement and internal potential of young players to achieve it. Among them, Wallace is worth noting. The 21-year-old young defender has the opportunity to make greater progress on the offensive end and become a potential threat to the team on the offensive end.

Stiles believes that Wallace's performance on the defensive end has reached the elite level, which also allows him to get a stable playing time. However, his shooting ability actually declined to a certain extent last season. In his rookie season, Wallace shot 49.1% from the field and 41.9% from three-point shooting. Last season, his shooting percentage dropped to 47.4%, and his three-point shooting percentage dropped to 35.6%. The most obvious thing is his stability in three-pointers in the corner. His three-point shooting percentage in the corner fell by about 10%, which also led to his contribution on the offensive end being far inferior to that of the rookie season.

Stiles also pointed out that Wallace's attacking and empty cut ability is quite good. He scored 1.463 points per round after the empty cut, which is a number that can rank 81st in the league. When facing the defender's defense after the pick-and-roll, his score was 1.222 points per round, which is also a pretty good number. Stiles believes that Wallace's shooting ability is not bad, and his three-point shooting percentage last season does not really reflect his shooting ability. In the new season, Stiles also believes that Wallace's three-point shooting percentage will rebound significantly, and he can also provide more support to the team on the offensive end, which will also have a decisive impact on the Thunder's performance in the new season.

In the NBA regular season last season, Wallace played a total of 68 games in 82 games, averaging 27.6 minutes per game, averaging 8.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.5 blocks, 0.9 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 47.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 35.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81.1%. In the playoffs, Wallace played a total of 23 games, averaging 22.4 minutes per game, with averaging 5.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.4 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 42.9%, his three-point shooting percentage was 32.3%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 66.7%. As Stiles said, Wallace's performance on the defensive end is already quite good. Whether in the regular season or in the playoffs, he has shown everyone his strong personal defensive ability. However, on the offensive end, he also has a lot of room for improvement. I wonder what Wallace will perform in the new season, and can he improve his three-point shooting percentage?
