He needs to continue to build his confidence by attacking the way he has and things will continue their upward trend. He can do the things we saw in the preseason in the NBA.

Unfortunately you see this a lot with unknown players, small playing time and poor defenses. If say for example he is the collison backup. Teams get tape on him, pay attention to him and never let him drive again. They just dare him to shoot it and pack the paint.

I'm not sure there is a substitute for hitting a wide open jump shot when you are 6'x" wing player.

In theory that can sometimes work. But you can't "pack the paint" with the 3 sec rule. Also, they can run pick n roll to get things moving. There are several ways around him not being a good shooter and teams saggin down.
