What is his % on contested 3P the last two seasons?
He’s taken 602 attempts as a Pel at 38%. Something like 47% from 3 this month. When do defenses adjust?
He does get open looks, but he also has a quick release. Some guys just have a knack for finding space without the ball, and the threat of others shooters and Zion on the floor certainly help
35%
Which is not that bad by any means, but it's also such a low sample size I'm not sure you can do much with it. Common sense would tell you though that as defenses adjust, his percentages would fall somewhat.
I'd also suggest part of it probably has to do with the fact defenders aren't glued to him, and he doesn't shoot off screens a lot(or well). But I don't think that or the quick-release explains everything since Redick also has a quick release, so do a lot of quick shooters that seem to have a good portion of their shots contested.

Common sense also tells you a pass first player, which Lonzo is, will adjust to adjustments and find the open man.
Lonzo, as noted, went from shooting from the left side of his body to the right in less than 2 seasons here, without any healthy real off season.
Had he been with Vinson from jump, he might have a floater by now.
In short, we should get something in return for transforming his game if we don’t believe in him.

not that bad?
If the general average % on 3pters league wide is 35-36%, I would think 35% on contested threes is much higher than league average, there for much better than "not that bad".
