Yuta Watanabe is the best shooter
Kyrie Irving on Yuta Watanabe: "He's the best shooter in the world right now" After Brooklyn Nets superstar Kyrie Irving's win over the Toronto Raptors (115-106) on Wednesday, Irving had this to say about Yuta Watanabe's play so far.
"He (Yuta Watanabe) is the best shooter in the world right now. He is the best shooter in the best league in the world, and his stats prove it. We want him to be confident and take every opportunity to shoot. He makes the game easier for us and we want to reward any player who puts his body on the line all the time. Especially when he's making good shots."
Watanabe has been shooting great from the 3-point line this season. Watanabe's 3-point shooting percentage is 57.1 percent, which is by far the best in the NBA (second is Josh Green of the Dallas Mavericks at 52.9 percent). Yuta Watanabe, who has missed two consecutive games due to injury, is scheduled to miss today's game against the Pacers as well. We hope to see him contribute to the win as he has in the past as soon as possible.
