A recent column from Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer displayed Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo's recent improvements with his 3-point shooting, as he's now shooting a respectable 37.2% from deep this season.

Is the improvement here to stay or merely a fallacy of small sample size? O'Connor explains it in the graphic below.

Antetokounmpo is shooting a stud-like 40.7% in one-dribble pull-up threes since last Christmas, but he struggles everywhere else, whether it's by linking together two or more dribbles before shooting or letting it fly off the catch.

The Greek Freak has yet to develop a strong enough shooting form to allow him to have the proper balance while standing still, which also reflects on a career-worst free-throw shooting percentage of 61.2%.

Due to the bulk of his shots, Antetokounmpo tries to take the majority off his threes in rhythm, whether that is by taking a rhythm dribble or sizing up his defender before pulling up. But he has greatly struggled shooting the ball without it touching the floor, which means he has yet to develop into a viable shooter.

So long as the 24-year-old needs that rhythm dribble, he will be a predictable shooter and predictable shooters often face slumps once opponents have caught up to their antics.

Antetokounmpo's shooting numbers are bound to decline once he starts attempting more shots, but developing a motion he can repeat cleanly whether he's shooting off the catch or off the dribble will be imperative for his development as a well-rounded player.
