Blazers have a concerning Shaedon Sharpe problem he can no longer ignore

Related Topics: Deni Avdija, Shaedon Sharpe

There's no way around it: Shaedon Sharpe isn't a good three-point shooter. At 22 years old, he may ultimately get to that point in his career. But for now, there's absolutely no reason someone shooting just 27.4% from beyond the arc should be attempting 7.0 threes per game.

That's second on the team, in between Jrue Holiday (7.1) and Deni Avdija (6.8). The difference? Holiday is connecting at a 36.5% rate while Avdija is having the best shooting season of his career at 37.5%.

Sharpe's concerning trend is nothing new. He shot 31.1% last season as his three-point efficiency has steadily declined since his rookie campaign.
