This is who we were all hoping to see after he posted some really gaudy numbers in the German league. On a Per 36 minute basis he's taking 7.6 3s. That's the kind of accuracy and volume that will create space if he can keep it up. Miller, Cousins (7.3 per 36) and Clark (6.0) are really the only ones shooting what would be considered a high volume of 3s. The Pels really need him to keep this up.

Its nice to see after he started out so terrible.

Speaking of Boogie and 3's, ESPN posted a stat today that said Boogie is on pace to set the league record for attempted 3's by a player over 6' 11". Pretty crazy.

I'd like to see Darius getting more of Clark's minutes at this point. He's rounding into form lately. I've been disappointed in Clark.

So I guess Rashard Lewis is 6'10

DeMarcus Cousins (101) has attempted as many 3s as Klay Thompson this season.
DC has more 3-pt attempts this season than plenty of names you'll recognize:

Shooting a better percentage than lillard and kyrie

Wouldn't be surprised.
You have to consider we have basically taken 25% of his shots he used to take at the mid range and distributed almost exclusively as threes. He has taken roughly 50 more threes at this point in the season then he had this time last season(to be fair he is also on pace to take more FGA in general than last season). He is also taking fewer shots inside as well. Which I think probably has multiple causes, including tired legs from large minute loads, not wanting to occupy Davis's space, the defenses swarming to protect the paint because they don't respect our guards, guards that are below average at penetrating, less emphasis on post offense, and Cousins own love of the three.
2016:
Overall his TS% and EFG% is up over his career averages, so it is overall for the better, but I think some of the emphasis away from mid rangers means he does drive more than he probably should or would if we gave him the green-light to take more mid rangers. Not sure I have the answer whether the cost outweighs the benefits, since his mid range numbers were not pretty, but yeah.

After going 5/8 from 3 he's now up to 43.2%.

Darius was a joy to watch tonight.

Houston has the top two and three of the top 5 total three point shot guys in the entire NBA

That's another Entergy THREE POINT power play, mates

This was great analysis, I hope people read it.

I would be shocked if more midrange would increase efficiency. Some of his drives are frustrating when he decides to drive regardless of the number of defenders and does not even look to pass out. When he isolates against a single defender and the paint is clear, he is good: too quick for the bigs and too strong for the forwards. When guards are hanging around in the paint to swipe at him passing by, he turns it over.
I think overall his drives are successful though. He turns it over, but he also scores and draws a lot of fouls. It also makes it so the opponents cannot guard him tight on the perimeter.

Add Ariza & Justin Holiday
And of that list only Robert Covington, KD, Tobias Harris, & Klay Thompson have a higher FG%. Which isn't super impressive since typically big men do have a higher FG% than guards, but as stated before, Boogie isn't in the paint as much due to increased minutes, tired legs, and not wanting to clog the lane with AD. I think if Boogie can take out the wild drives/shots (which I think will happen more that Rondo is returning) he will be MUCH more effective on top of the high end production we've seen so far

NBA Advanced Stats
This is a great resource for stuff like that. Amongst players who average 10 drives or more per game, Boogie averages 0.39 shots per drive (at a 50% conversion clip) and 0.30 FTA per drive, resulting in 0.65 points per drive. 0.65 points per drive ranks second among this group of players, only behind Lebron (0.85 PPD).
Some other notables here:
Westbrook: 0.39 PPD
DeRozan: 0.51
Harden: 0.56
Holiday: 0.48
Boogie's foul percentage is at an eye poping 15.7% (DeRozan is second at 13.1%).
Unfortunately his turnover % ranks third at 12.1% and as you would expect, his assist % per drive is much lower than the other players that meet the criteria, but he only passes on 21.4% of his drives anyway.
