In Game 2, he had 24 points and was plus-23 in a 17-point win. In Game 1, he had three points and was minus-14 in a four-point loss. In his first two games of this postseason, Caris LeVert gave us a pretty good encapsulation of the Caris LeVert experience. He just hasn't shown the ability (or had the opportunity) to do much beyond that yet. He's averaged at least 2.5 threes with an above- average three-point percentage in each of his past three seasons. has quietly been one of the game's steadier high-volume three-point shooters. As a secondary creator attacking (or shooting over) rotating defenses, he can be a dangerous offensive weapon. The versatility he's shown in previous stops should also boost his value a bit, too.īogdan Bogdanović is firmly in the "that player's older than you realize" camp, but 15.1 points, 3.0 assists and a 40.0 three-point percentage over the past three seasons would still have plenty of potential suitors looking his way if he declines his player option. Over the past three seasons, he's 11th in three-point attempts per game and 221st in three-point percentage.Ĭaris LeVert David Liam Kyle/NBAE via Getty Imagesīruce Brown may not be able to singlehandedly take over the offense for stretches quite like Clarkson, but he shot better in 2022-23, was a comparable playmaker and was a significantly better defender. Jordan Clarkson's career-high 4.4 assists per game in 2022-23 is encouraging, but he remains a loose cannon-at best-as a three-point shooter. That and solid defense will draw him some suitors outside Boston, even if there isn't much more to his offensive game right now. Grant Williams falling out of the Boston Celtics' playoff rotation probably couldn't have come at a much worse time, but a 39.7 three-point percentage over the past three seasons is encouraging. Among the 75 players who've attempted at least as many threes as Brooks over the course of his career, Brooks' effective field-goal percentage ranks 74th (ahead of only Russell Westbrook). ![]() When he's not poking bears, Dillon Brooks has become a pretty solid (or at least pesky) perimeter defender who can occasionally hit a jumper.īut he can also shoot you out of a game like few others in the league. Still, Washington is a relatively young player who averaged 15.7 points in 2022-23 and has a slightly above- average three-point percentage for his career. Washington entered free agency last summer, he might've ranked higher on a list like this, but a terrible season including a significant dip in true shooting percentage and noticeable ones in rebound, assist, steal and block rates may stymie his value a bit. Still, any team in need of a backup center who plays hard and can distribute a little bit would benefit from his presence. ![]() Raw numbers suggest Mason Plumlee should be higher, but he'll turn 34 next spring, looks like less of a deterrent on defense and rarely scores outside the restricted area.
