Stiffs Mailbag: Gary Harris and shot distribution, Nikola Jokic’s shooting consistency, and more

It’s game time!

I mean...it’s Mailbag time!

Is Gary Harris capable of 50/40/90 numbers a la Malcom Brogdon? Is that his absolute ceiling?

Let’s take a look at the efficiency numbers for Gary Harris.

His career high in field goal percentage occurred in 2016-17 when he shot 50.2% from the field. This is considered the best offensive year for the Nuggets and the most purely “Jokic-ball” year. Back cuts were commonplace, the floor was spaced very well, and Nikola Jokic developed excellent chemistry with Harris to help generate easy shots at the rim.
