Morant has also shown significant improvement from outside the paint as well, shooting a career-high 36.8% on his 3-point shots, way up from the 30.5% he shot a season ago. If Morant can develop a reliable triple, it’s over. If there’s one thing that “held back” other great attacking guards over the past 20 years it’s long-range shooting. It’s a skill that evaded Westbrook, Rose and Wade in their primes, but it’s one that Morant could still master. Forcing defenses to respect his outside shot will open up even more driving lanes for Morant to exploit, making him even more dangerous in half-court settings.
