Luka also put up 7-8 3s a game his first two years and clearly had significant shooting gravity - I have a hard time classifying that as "low-medium volume"
Doncic first two seasons: .327 and 315. Doughy white boy with good size, but nearly zero NBA level altheticism, but a pick and roll and overall passing wizard.
The FT thing as a shooting signal is based on a consistent repeatable shooting motion. If you look at the really great shooters, the guys shooting well above 40% from beyond the arc year after year, you won’t see a hair’s difference in their shooting motion. Mechanics and a repeatable motion are...
^ with everything else he brings, I happily take the 50% chance that Castle’s shooting improves like Suggs, Holiday, and White. That sounds good actually.
If the Spurs want the safe plug and play guy, they can trade up for ZR.
I think the pessimist's view of this is that there is about a 50% chance that he turns into a below average non-usable shooter. He can clearly ball and his passing ability gives him a moat, but can you think of any below average shooters (.320 or below on low-medium volume) that have had success in...
He'd be super effective in inverted pick & rolls with Wemby. Doesn't have the speed to get by defenders, but is extremely crafty around the rim and with his wingspan I don't see a problem here. He's probably the safest bet out of the non-shooters to develop a reliable jump shot, cause he played PG...
Castle, Topic, Holland and Buzelis have all shoot about the same 3 pointers this year.
Their 3 point shot stats this year:
Castle: 20/78 (25.6%)
Topic: 21/73 (28.8%)
Holland: 23//92 (25%)
Buzelis: 29/106 (27.4%)
Holland and Buzelis were playing with the farther NBA 3 point line.
100%
Gafford and Washington were easily available guys under cost control, Jones Jr is on a minimum. Lively is a rookie.
Coaching matters even when you have the alpha.
Pop and the accidental assistants who hold seats no one in the league even wanted have no excuse anymore. Wright also....
good to see him work on his handles and post moves. That along with his 3-point shot is where he should try to improve. Year 3 is gonna be crucial for him, I expect to see a huge leap, otherwise he's a bench player.
all y'all were rooting for the Mavs and now they gon fuck around and win a title. I hope Boston can beat them, although Tatum and Brown always wet the bed when it matters. There's so much parity in the league now that you can get to the finals with a decent team. One more reason why the Spurs...
interestingly the atheltic test numbers of this two are almost identical. Holland jumped slightly higher from one foot (+2.5"), while Cody jumped slightly higher from two feet (+1"). Cody had a slightly better sprint time (3.06 to 3.10), Holland had slightly better shuttle run (2.91 to 2.93)....
Yeah. It's not a good or consistent shot, but it doesn't seem to be completely irreparable. I'm biased toward players like Holland but I'm not going to be busted up when the Spurs don't pick him.
For real. If 0.4 and 6 had been delivered to us by the same team, I'd have an internal hatred for that team's greatest player too.
Shit, Sheed's lucky that 0.4 happened, otherwise we make to finals and probably deny him his only 'chip.

This is the protocol of measuring standing reach. The facilitator will pull your arms up. Now tell, how can one pull his arm down while the other one pull it up. It is not reaching up independently, facilitator will pull it up.
Why all the talk about race in this thread? This has nothing to do with race. It's about prime vs career. It's not close in career. In prime, KG was a beast. Sheed thinks year 1 is prime. Prime TD wasn't until 2003ish.
KAT isn't low IQ. KAT is at the leading edge of the 3pt shooting bigs in the NBA who think they are Steph Curry level reliable from out there, and ignore the fact that Steph didn't have the option to post up and be dominant instead. KAT should be the leader on that team since he's been there what,...
Dude just doesn't do anything at a high level. Like what power forward in the nba can you say Sochan is clearly better than? I legit can't think of one. Maybe Obi Toppin on a bad day.
Hopefully we lowball him and he moves on. I think Pop ruined him playing him at point guard.
