Jordan Hawkins Shot 61.8% True Shooting Over His Last 10 Games
A Pelicans reserve closed last season shooting far more efficiently than his season average.
Jordan Hawkins posted a 61.8% true shooting mark over his last 10 games of the 2025-26 season, the stretch that ended April 12, 2026. That is 13.8 points higher than his season true shooting figure of 48.0%. A gap that size between a 10-game stretch and a full season is large.
Hawkins played 51 games last season for the Pelicans. He averaged 5.1 points in 13.6 minutes a night across that season, a bench role with limited shot volume. The same minutes and role produced both the 48.0% season mark and the 61.8% closing stretch, so the swing came from how well his shots fell, not from a bigger workload.
For the 61.8% rate to hold, Hawkins would need to keep shooting at that level once his season sample grows past 10 games. A true shooting rate built on a small stretch inside a 13.6-minute role is more exposed to swinging back than one built over 51 games. The 48.0% season number is the wider sample, and it sits far below the last-10 figure.
If Hawkins sustains something close to 61.8% into next season, it will mark a real gain in efficiency for a Pelicans reserve who averaged 5.1 points a game. If the rate slides back toward 48.0%, last season's final 10 games will stand as a hot stretch inside an otherwise average shooting year for him.
