Keldon Johnson’s elite 3-point shooting this season

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson

Following their 130-112 Thursday night loss to the Sacramento Kings, the San Antonio Spurs have fallen to 6-10 and 13th in the Western Conference.

Spurs have gone 1-8 since their impressive 5-2 start. However, the improvement of Keldon Johnson has given Spurs fans something to be excited about. In particular, Johnson’s elite 3-point shooting has been an extremely impressive development.

With 52 threes, Johnson is tied for the second-most 3-pointers made this season, behind only Warriors’ superstar point guard Steph Curry (72). Johnson has done that in just 14 games. In comparison, last season, he made a career-best 159 3-pointers in 75 games. Over his first two seasons, Johnson has made just 73 3-pointers in 86 games. So simply put, his improvement has been exponential.

If Johnson can keep up his high level of play, he could be in contention for his first All-Star selection.
