Shaedon has been cooking these last 4 games

Over the past 4 games, Shaedon has been averaging 25 points, shooting 55% from the field and a staggering 73% from three (on high volume - 16/22). He's managed to drag his 3pt% for the year up over 30% now, and if he keeps this up he'll be marching towards league average and beyond.

I feel like the amazing thing is the team doesn't seem to run any plays for him either, he's mostly cooking offenses in isolation and off the dribble. I think he could be much more effective if we had some semblance of an offensive system - when Sacramento sent doubles to him in the second half tonight, he was making the pass over the top to Clingan and the rest of the team couldn't do anything to punish the 4 on 3.

I hope Tiago continues to preach the need for defensive intensity (although looking at how the team has been playing, that doesn't seem to be happening) because he still regularly gets blown by and loses the backdoor cutter at least 2-3 times a game.

At the very least, though, I'm glad that we are starting to see some of what the team was talking about in the preseason - we need Shae to become a star.
