Checkpoint
Target share, last 3 games vs season (2025)
12.3% last 3 vs 10.8% season (2025) · as of July 2026
Strong pick if you believed
Jalen McMillan's late-2025 target share is the new baseline, not a blip
Poor pick if instead
Jalen McMillan's late-2025 target uptick is small-sample noise that reverts

Checkpoint
Points over expected (FPOE) per game, season (2025)
+0.3 pts/gm vs expectation (2025) · as of July 2026
Steady: within half a point a game of expectation, so his usage explains his scoring and this checkpoint does not lean either way.
