Inspired by this post by Scott Rafferty over at The Step Back, I went back and watched all 35 of Justise Winslow’s 3-pointers from this past season to get to the bottom of whether or not he could make a similar improvement to Kawhi Leonard in terms of perimeter shooting.
Winslow had been working with shooting coach Rob Fodor before undergoing shoulder surgery that sidelined him for the season after playing in just 18 games. However, the Miami Heat didn’t see an improvement in Winslow’s limited time. He made just 20 percent of his 3-pointers, compared to 27.
