Robinson ranks in the 93rd percentile off spot-upsHe ranks in the 96th percentile off hand-offsHe ranks in the 93rd percentile in transitionHe ranks in the 98th percentile off cutsHe ranks in the 84th percentile on “guarded” catch-and-shoot attempts and in the 96th percentile on unguarded attempts
All this for a player who averages 1.1 field-goal attempts from two-point range per game. The NBA has seen a lot of great shooting specialists come through the ranks over the last two decades, but none of them have ever been quite as good at it as Robinson already is.

[from a different article]
He’s on pace for 298 three-pointers, which would be fifth-most in a season in NBA history, behind three seasons by Steph Curry (who hit a record 402 in 2016-17) and one season by James Harden. With Harden having made 261 threes this season and Buddy Hield 235, Robinson realistically could finish ranked sixth or seventh all-time for threes in a single season.
But accuracy is where Robinson gets a clear edge over any 3-point shooter other than Curry, if comparing single seasons historically.
He entered Friday shooting 44.6 percent on threes, by far the best for any of the five players who have hit at least 200 threes this season (Harden, Hield, Damian Lillard, Devonte’ Graham).
Only one player with 250 or more threes in a season (a threshold Robinson should surpass) has ever shot threes as well as Robinson has this season: Curry, who shot 45.4 percent during that season he made a record 402 threes. Three times, Curry has made more than 250 threes in a season while shooting 44 percent or better.
As perspective, Golden State’s Klay Thompson twice has hit 250 or more threes in a season (268 and 276) and converted at a 41.4 and 42.5 percent clip in those seasons. And Harden has shot between 34.7 and 36.7 percent during each of the four seasons that he has hit 250 or more threes, including 36.8 when he sank 378 threes last season.
In fact, only three players in history have done what Robinson is doing from a volume/percentage standpoint: Make at least 200 threes while converting at a rate of 44.6 percent or higher: Curry, JJ Redick (200 for 421, 47.5 percent in 2016-17) and Kyle Korver (221 for 449, 49.2 percent in 2014-15). And Robinson will hit far more threes this season than Redick or Korver did their seasons.

the shot versatility is what's really special. lots of guys can spot up but to be able to get it up off all kinds of actions makes him so much harder to guard.

The Nets are parting ways with head coach Kenny Atkinson.— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) March 7, 2020

between kyrie’s comments recently and now this it seems like the nets are just intent on becoming a star driven franchise... feel like they’re gonna hire a ty lue like coach now. and even with all that heading into next year they still look like the 6th or 7th best team in the east.
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 7 March 2020 15:17 (four years ago) link
i guess that's the only way to make sense of this:
Sean Marks and Atkinson had several conversations and the sense had been that a change was inevitable and both sides decided that there was no sense waiting on it. Both had felt that Atkinson and Nets had run course together. They have maintained a close relationship.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) March 7, 2020
either they didn't think atkinson could coach a kd/kyrie team next year or he made it clear he had no desire to do so
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 7 March 2020 15:27 (four years ago) link
the nets making a bunch of savvy moves to speed up their recovery from the awful kg/pierce trade and then taking a hard left turn into trying to brute force a good team again is kinda sad

agreed. getting credit for building a respectable program and then revealing that it was all a front to get stars to a big market.

Stephen A. Smith says he doesn’t “believe” the Nets organization believes in Kenny Atkinson.That’s very irresponsible speculation if that’s not directly sourced.He says the Nets coach will be whoever KD wants to be the coach.— Billy Reinhardt (@BillyReinhardt) March 4, 2020

wldve been surprised if it didnt happen in the offseason as kd and kyrie didnt like attkins control freaky total system upon arrival but its pretty weird that it happened now, mb they want to give jacque vaughn a shot

i definitely don't think the kd/kyrie nets will be a top team. maybe if kd comes back 100% somehow they can make it happen but otherwise they're gonna be a 4-6 seed in the current east
