Drake has taken 136 field goal attempts in the NBA so far, with a 59% true shooting. Super low volume, but also incredible efficiency out of the gate.
He's shooting 61%!!! from 2pt range…..as a guard. Again, small sample, but he was an elite 2pt finisher in college percentage wise, so it seems to be a real trait. Add in 88% from the line right now too, and it might be signaling elite "touch" metrics.
And the kicker, he's done this on 57% unassisted volume from 2, which is a very healthy amount of self creation.
It's a TINY bit similar profile to rookie Austin Reaves so far. Rookie Reaves was a similar 2pt% and TS% intersection, and nobody picked up on the ceiling due to low volume.

That title tho
I think Marks hit on Demin, Wolf, Powell and Traore. No one watches the Nets so the consensus is that we didn’t have a great draft and blew 5 first round picks. In probably 2 seasons people will know who they are and be talking about our 2025 draft
Saraf… jury is still out. Haven’t seen enough of him at the NBA level.
