Yikes. I think he’ll come around but that’s atrocious. Haven’t watched many games. Is he missing good looks? Bad shot selection?

I think he’s just pressing, he’ll settle eventually.

Bad shot selection mostly
Although he has had a couple wide open shots he missed too
Gotta be a mental thing with him

And Frank Jackson is playing well. I think NAW has been getting too many minutes.

[Edit: I got some stats wrong here, so I fixed this.]
Y'all must've been watching completely different games than I've been watching.
NAW leads the team and, among players with at least 50 minutes played, is 11th in the NBA right now in assists per minute. His ball movement makes the offense flow and the entire team better. He's the only one on the team other than Ingram (and Zion, of course) who can consistently break his man down and penetrate into the lane.
That's why, even with his poor shooting, he still has a 2.5 positive +/= rating. The team is better with him on the floor than without him.
Yes, since the start of the regular season, his shot hasn't been falling. He shot 47% from 3 in the preseason, though, so we know that he can shoot. Sometimes, shooters can be streaky, and it's got to be a little unnerving the first time that you're facing guys like Chris Paul and James Harden, whom NAW has probably admired all his life. The outside shooting will come.
I'm slightly more concerned by the fact that his shots at the rim aren't falling, but that problem is made worse by Okafor being on the floor and being unable to flush his misses. You saw what Jaxson did to one of NAW's misses yesterday, and Zion is going to gobble those up when he gets back.

He's hardly taking bad shots. He's just missing everything. He needs to work for easier shots. Get to the rim. Get fouled. Make some FTs and get into a rhythm.
He's handling the ball very well and he's going up against some tough offensive players. His breakout game will come.
