3-point percentage

Like Dragan Bender, as a sophomore Chriss has the ability to set a career-high in literally every statistical category, good or bad. Obviously the coaching staff and fans would love it if Chriss set a career-low  in personal fouls this season, preferably averaging less than three a game, but since the object of this post is a player’s career-high  it is very possible that Chriss will reach a high in overall field goal percentage.

He averaged 52.0% from 2-point range and a modest 32.1% from three. To become the ultimate stretch four, it would be nice if Chriss could keep his 2-point field goal percentage right about where it is (obviously higher would be better, though not imperative), with a slightly higher 3-point percentage.

Granted, I could have set that it was likely that he would have a higher 3-point percentage and ended there, but the fact that he should be able to keep his 2-point rate right about where it is, he then would be able to set a career-high in overall field goal percentage, making him a highly efficient scorer on the offensive end, and an even more dangerous weapon.
