This correct.. Plus doesn't have that lateral quickness to play the 4. He would get eaten up on cuts.

In the span of 2 games, he's gone from basically 46% from 3 to 40.9% on the season.

It was a notable thing through the first 10 games or so that he was shooting almost 100% assisted threes. It was very rare that he was actually creating one himself off the dribble. I'd be curious to see if that's changed, given the drastic drop-off, or whether it's just a cold spot.

I feel like he's been way more hesitant on his threes the last couple games. Vs Phoenix he was super sure of himself every play

I'd be curious as to whether or not they brought him back early from injury or not. I was just checking, and it's not just the last two games: his efficiency since coming back off injury has been massively down. Over the last 6 games, he's shooting 43% from the field and 33% from 3. Obviously it could just be a case of him having a cold patch, or it could be him just regressing to the mean after a super crazy start, but such a dramatic fall all at once is kind of surprising.
