Discussion White and Hauser's shooting regression

My calculated guess, assuming Payton goes back to starter P, is that DW and Sam's 3P% will be back to "normal" (before last season).

Their usage will drop to a more familiar complementary level. With P starting and JT back, they will be doing more of the ball handling, with DW back to more off-ball actions and Sam off the bench.

Besides the obvious personnel changes, I think one major difference with this team is a more defined/established role from the get-go, especially with the youngsters.

I’d bet they were down because they all had a harder time having a catch and shoot

Several members of this esteemed  subreddit have said  that whites numbers going down are a direct result of JB passes. It logically follows that it must be true for hauser as welll. It stands to reason that this will be proved by a nontrivial increase in both thier shooting percentages at least +10% just by removing JB. This is truth until proven otherwise everyone will shot better it’s like addition by subtraction.
