No one is saying he's had a great season - especially by his own lofty standards. What people are saying is that despite his shooting woes this year, he STILL adds value and when the shooting comes he's pretty much irreplaceable

Not true. I've witnessed current nba players play in tournaments and have not won, nor been the best on the court.

Yeah, the Spurs have probably the best shooting coach in the league. I'm not sure what this guy thinks he sees, but it's pretty clear he went looking for something. It's not a far-fetched idea; I did the same thing, but I was willing to admit that I couldn't see any difference other than perhaps the arc of the ball.
Re: Danny Green - 33% from Three - TRADE
He shoots best when he goes straight up, not jumping forward or in transition. He's not a good transition 3 shooter but he's hit a few. I thought Neal was better at that but maybe not.

That's probably true for most shooters. From what I saw, he jumps about 8 inches forward consistently when he was killing it in the finals and when he went 1-9 the other night. He's surprisingly good at catching and shooting going left or right, and he can actually shoot in transition, either off the dribble or from a pass, though he likely doesn't do it often enough to get a real read on it.
I'd be interested in seeing his percentage of contested vs uncontested threes. My guess is that he actually shoots a lower percentage when there's nobody near him because his arc flattens out.

Oh Kawhi. Don't leave the one guy outside of Paul making a shot open..

70yr old washed-up players don't count. I've played with a few NBA players and the shit's not fair, and I'm considered good.

When he's on a stretch where he's "on", he's actually pretty good in transition where he pulls up at the top of the arc for 3 and momentum makes him land like 2-3 ft ahead of the line. It's pretty awkward, really. I've remember talking about it with a few of my buddies who also noticed it.

I was watching his commercial where he shoots the three several times. He does just as you said each time so I suppose that's his natural action. He seems to accentuate the jump when someone is guarding him though.
Re: Danny Green - 33% from Three - TRADE
Let's hope Verde keep it rolling tbh. At this point he’s there for defense 1st (which he's doing an amazing job) and secondly to shoot treys.
If Danny turns hot coming Playoffs time = NBA's fucked.
Re: Danny Green - 33% from Three - TRADE
4-5 on three's is great and shows what this team can do if Green's making shots. He's had big games but has not been consistent. Have a few 4 out of 5 games where he makes at least 3 three pointers and I'll feel better. We don't need a crazy amount of points from him - just make defenders play honest and make the open shots they give you.
Re: Danny Green - 33% from Three - TRADE
Re: Danny Green - 33% from Three - TRADE
His shot looked so much better last night. You can kind of tell he went back to basics from his form and where he is shooting
Re: Danny Green - 33% from Three - TRADE
Pop needs to keep Danny off the point, off that motherfucker. Danny should never bring the ball up unless he got a steal and is in transition. You always know he's going to turn it over if he does.
