The Golden State Warriors are looking for all the help they can get these days and need every player to be performing to the best of their abilities.
So far this season, Chris Paul has averaged 9 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 7.3 assists but during his last two games, he has stepped up his shooting skills.
As noted by Ball Don’t Lie, during ten games between December 6 and 28, Paul was shooting 39.4% from the field and 27.8% from the three-point line.
However, during the last two games, Paul has improved those numbers to 63.2% from the field and 75% from the three-point line.
The 12-time All-Star was quoted as saying, “I’ve been a shooter my whole life. If it don’t go in, still. You gotta keep shooting.”

Warriors fans are very happy to see this developing trend from Paul, who is playing his first season with the team.
He has accepted his role as a bench player and has seemed to fit in quite well within Golden State’s culture.
When he joined the team, fans were hoping his experience and expertise would help propel them but they have still struggled all season long.
While he may have had an influence in the locker room, his impact on the court hasn’t been felt like people had hoped.
He is putting up some of his lowest numbers in years, which is just one of the many problems the Warriors have.
However, his 12 points and 4 assists on Tuesday night helped lift the Warriors to a much-needed win over the Orlando Magic.
During that game, he sank all of his three-pointers and had a 60% field goal percentage.
Will Paul’s strong numbers continue in the days and weeks ahead?
