Gotta believe in this kid, because NO ONE is respecting his shooting ability

8th in the NBA in 3pt%. Just 2 spots behind Curry and 3 ahead of Klay.

Well, there's the tiny detail that Curry is attempting north of 10 threes a game (yes, this is on pace to break the all-time NBA single-season record by about ~150 attempts).

Klay Thompson is attempting 7.5. Olynyk -- 3. Let's not confuse him with folks that have shown otherworldly ability to put it in the hoop from long distance.

Very true...just nice to see though.

Kelly will make top 4 I have faith in our boy

Sadly , the only way he wins if curry steps on something and twists his ankle and falls on his right arm

The percentage is great of course, but it's the feel of the game that I'm really impressed with.  He's improved 10 fold there. Keep the development going.

So is Kelly competing in the three-point challenge then? Is that what this thread is about? I haven't seen this anywhere else.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

3 point contest shooting isn't the same animal as in-game shooting.  And small samples (25 shots over 60 seconds) produce weird results.  We've seen that plenty of times in this contest. 

But I'll add to the people asking if it's been confirmed Kelly's in the contest.  Has it been announced, even in an unofficial Twitter sense?

Exactly. That's like saying Westbrook is a great rebounder and then someone dismissing it by comparing his rebounding rate to Drummond or DeAndre.

Olynyk is attempting three in only 20 minutes of playing time.  He's actually attempting 5.4 Per 36 Minutes.  Still not on par with Klay Thompson, but pretty impressive regardless considering his percentages and the fact that he's really a center.
