Look at the NBA leader in 3-point percentage and it’s not Joe Harris or Desmond Bane, or anybody with the surname Curry.
“He’s definitely got a flamethrower right now,” said Harris, who has two 3-point crowns himself.
“Yeah, my shots are easy because of KD, Ben, those guys pushing the ball, giving me great passes,” Watanabe told The Post. “So I’ve got to appreciate them for giving me great passes. And my job is just make those open shots. So, I’m going to just keep shooting with confidence. I know I can do that.”
That non-guaranteed part is worth noting. Marks inked Watanabe on a team-friendly $1.8 million minimum contract on Aug. 28. It doesn’t become guaranteed until Jan. 10, and since he is too experienced for a two-way deal the Nets can’t rip up his pact even if they wanted to.
