Paul has been much more efficient thus far compared to last season, boosting his shooting percentage to 45.2% from last season's career-worst 41.9% figure while also draining a career-best 48.1% from three-point range on 4.5 attempts from distance per contest. With four matchups this week against teams ranked in the bottom half of the league in points allowed to point guards (Magic, Spurs, Warriors, and Bucks) and a 22.3% usage rate thus far, Paul's outlook for the upcoming week looks increasingly bright as he continues to acclimate himself to his new teammates.
