Right next to Isaiah's 40% from the field and 30% from the 3 point range, he is currently the second highest scorer on the Lakers by True Shooting Percentage courtesy of his free throw streak and knack for getting to the foul line. He is currently at 56.2% (13.2 PPG).
Players better than him: Josh Hart 58.3% (6.6 PPG), the traded Larry Nance Jr. 61.8% (8.6 PPG), Ivica Zubac 63.1% (3.3 PPG) and Andrew Bogut 69.6% (1.5 PPG). There is only one other double figure scorer higher than Isaiah Thomas right now and that is Julius Randle at 60.1% (14.8 PPG). Jordan Clarkson was at 53.2% (14.5 PPG).
So his present shooting form actually isn't that bad! He isn't that disastrous right now. Even during his stint at Cleveland, he had a TS% of 49.3%, which didn't reach Kobe Bryant levels of 46.9%.
5 games is too small a pool to draw conclusions from andit seems others are playing better than him at this stretch, so I don't think you can consider him starter worthy yet. Right now, he is probably average between 4th and 6th best player on court. But even if he starts missing at the line, there are potential indications his shooting percentages are on the rise. His turnovers are coming down, too; last game going 1 turnover from 5 assists.

While he was still between 4th and 6th best that night, maybe it is not coincidence: maybe people there are lifting their games beside him? (As opposed to LeBron James throwing a million miles per hour out of bounds passes and pass on wide open looks because he hated IT that much https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnbuQBwltIk. At least two possessions there that one can make a case for point shaving from LeBron far more than IT bailing out of a 5 second closely guarded violation the other day that many don't seem to know exists.)
