Looking into his stats, DS is considerably better at catch and shoot 3s than pull up 3s.
He hits catch and shoot 3s around 36-38% for his career and he's under 30% for pull ups. He shot both with the same frequency up until 18/19 when he started to take way more catch and shoots. In that time, he's been a .354 shooter. Prior he was at .320.
He also hits his wide open 3s around the same 36-38% mark. NBA.com only has season by season numbers so I had to guesstimate career numbers.
The numbers are total % of shots that were catch and shoot 3s and the % at which he made them, and the total % of shots that were pull up 3s, and the % he made them.
14/15: 15.9%/31.9%, 8.6%/43.1%.
15/16: 18.7%/38.3%, 14.7%/24.8%
16/17: 14.0%/39.6%, 11.8%/29.2%
17/18: 12.3%/28.0%, 12.0%/29.5%
18/19: 22.7%/35.0%, 9.3%/28.7%.
19/20: 24.0%/41.4%, 8.5%/26.8%.
20/21: 21.3%/36.3%, 5.3%/20.0%.
17/18 looks like an outlier compared to every year but 14/15, his first year of shooting the 3 with any volume.
If he continues the trend of shooting 3+ catch and shoots for every 1 pull up, he'll be fine. I don't see him taking too many pull up 3s on the C's so he should be fine, % wise anyway.
In the early going this year, he's at 31.3%/33.3% and 8.3%/25.0%. 39.6% of his shots this year are from 3, which would easily be a career high. HIs current career high is .337, followed by .330. He was one other season were 30%+ of his shots were 3s.
I'm not posting these numbers as they are similar to catch and shoot, but with 0 dribbles he's closer to a 37-38% 3 point shooter. Generally speaking, the more dribbles, the worst he gets. When he gets to 7+ dribbles though, he starts to shoot better.
Is that a sample size thing or is there a reason after 7 dribbles he starts to shoot the 3 significantly better than with 2-6 dribbles? Not quite as good as with 0 though. Odd. I wonder if that's everyone or just DS. If it's everyone, I'm missing something obvious that would cause that.
