Three-Point Shooting

Casspi is known for his three point-shooting, and won’t be shy about letting fly from deep. For a man of his size, Casspi’s shooting is good, but at the same time, teams don’t want him to shoot because he’s big, they’d rather if it was because he was efficient.

Having averaged solid three-point percentages of 36.9 and 37.2 in his first two seasons in the league, Casspi has failed to exceed 35 percent in the years since. Even on catch and shoot opportunities from deep, normally a mainstay of sharpshooters, Casspi’s percentage barely rises, coming in at 36.6 percent.
