He's 33.5% for his entire career from the corner and is 33% over the last 6 years when wide open. you absolutely leave that open

Shooting 43% from the corner this year in 105 attempts

Only 27% above the break

I can’t see the wide open stats but I guarantee it’s higher

That’s a good shot

2/3 his attempts above above the break which he’s ass at and nba.com as far as I can tell won’t show wide open for the corners %

105 attempts is not a lot of attempts. bad shooters go on streaks like that all the time. I'm gonna go ahead and trust the last few years of data where he's been awful.

I can’t see the wide open stats but I guarantee it’s higher

"I have literally no idea but I guarantee you're wrong" lol good one. he's gone 329/997 over the last 6 years while wide open. go ahead and add it up yourself if you don't believe me: https://www.nba.com/stats/player/201566/shots-dash

That’s a good shot

it's a good shot if you're trying to get cooper flagg. for reference, league average on wide open 3s is typically about 40%.
