If you’d correctly predicted that Keldon Johnson’s 2021-22 season would have made the short list for best three-point campaigns ever by a Spur, I would also assume you were currently living on a private island funded entirely by meme stocks and jpegs of bored apes.
It’s not that no one expected improvement in the 22-year-old’s game, but a jump from 2.6 to 5.1 attempts per game, accompanied by a near-40 percent clip, has been a revelation, and a much-needed dynamic for a Spurs roster lacking in outside pop.
As a result, Johnson’s total of 154 threes this year currently has him tied for 11th among all seasons by a Spur (H/T Statmuse — you can see the full list here), alongside Patty Mills and Manu Ginobili.
