Projecting just about anything related to Chris Paul feels almost impossible.
It's simply too early to tell what role he'll play (and for how long) and how much the Warriors will adjust their offensive approach to accommodate his pick-and-roll acumen. Never mind guessing how the aging process will impact him at the age of 38.
Still, if you had to bank on one thing happening, it's probably an uptick in three-point shooting. Paul has shared the floor with other greats before, but he's never played alongside a pair of playmakers like Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. If he buys into more of an off-ball role, at least when those two are on the floor, he might get served open shots buffet-style.
That, in turn, could help the career 36.9 percent three-point shooter push his splash rate north of 40 percent, a mark he's only hit twice (2009-10 and 2016-17). If he's getting a steady diet of spot-up chances, though, his stroke is good enough to knock them down consistently. Last season, he converted a whopping 52.3 percent of his catch-and-shoot threes, per NBA.com.
