Hard to imagine he could significantly improve those stats. Maybe he could get a litte scoring boost if he'd be able to get over the 50% fg% mark...

He'd score less if he got over 50% because it'd mean he took less threes.

Could be possible. Although he shot well from beyond the arc (0.417).
But he still could have a higher overall shooting percentage if he takes even more inside shots which could possibly translate into more points per game...

.470*2 = .94 points per shot
.417*3 = 1.25 points per shot
.513*2 = 1.026 points per shot
Love's FG: .470; Love's eFG (FG% considering threes being worth x1.5): .513

Without threes: 14.1(.94)+5.8 = 19.054
With threes: 14.1(1.026)+5.8 = 20.2

He'd score less because he shoots so well from the arc. .417 from three is the equivalent to shooting .626 from the field. While I doubt that he'll shoot quite as well next season and he doesn't take a ton of them, taking less threes might marginally improve his overall field goal percentage but would certainly hurt his effective and true shooting percentages. He'd score less if he took the same amount of shots, but more inside.

Kevin Durant,Kyrie Irving .Durant has to to improve his defense,quickness and overall speed of his body.He is a killer but he needs to defend,and he has a lot of potential to workout harder to improve his weaknesses.Kyrie Irving its smthing like an offensive - minded player.He has the potential to work his defensive skills
and i think that he may be more explosive and have a quicker 1st step.Durant is an all-star but he can become a more overall player(not only scroing),he has a loottt of potential . Kyrie also would be an all-star the next season(maybe this..) only if he shows his incredible offensive abillity and what he can do to defense wich needs a lot of work. Both have incredible potentials to reach Superstar Levels.(Durant is already.but need improvement as an overall player, not only scoring)

At age of 33, Scalabrine needs to realize he's still young and have the most potential.
