When Nassir Little joined the Portland Trail Blazers as a rookie last year, he came in as a notably raw prospect. He was an incredibly athletic player that didn’t lack energy, but he was a project prospect that needed refinement before entering the rotation player.
Fast forward to this season, and all the sudden Little’s development appears to have accelerated in one key area: shooting. As a result, he’s earned more minutes this year and transformed into one of the most consistent shooters on the team. He’s shooting close to 37 percent from three right now.
