What has DJ Insta ever accomplished tbh?

Give Chip his due. I am in the camp that says no Chip for KL then he becomes just a defensive specialist maybe averaging 14 ppg tops.

I been making this point last season when I said Kawhi would've never been the player he is if he hadn't been developed by the Spurs. They put players in a program where they add skillsets step by step and have the best shooting coach in the NBA. If he goes to the Pacers and not the Spurs he wouldn't have made it to an MVP candidate in his career.

I know some of you will be outraged by this, but tbh as great as Chip may be, shooting coaches are overrated and probably unnecessary in today's NBA. Kawhi could just as easily have learned his stroke from JJ Red ’s YouTube channel. All it would have taken is a mild amount of comprehension (middle school level- the kind nephew can handle) and some self motivation. The internet is great like that nowadays.

Shooting coaches aren't there just to show in live action the shooting style of JJ Red to a developing player.

They are there to observe in person through hours of practice the shooting form of a player.To try and correct said shooting form from the ground up through trial and error,fixing every aspect from feet positioning,release,shooting motion etc.

They are there to mold a players shooting form to what best helps that specific player,and not how to shoot in general.

Then they report said players progress to the head coach.Then the Head coach draws more plays for said player to check his progress in game.If something still doesn't work it's back to the drawing board.

Yes,the player's motivation and dedication is one of the most important aspect in the whole process.
But if your team does not help with putting you in the right position to succeed while offering you all the needed tools to do so,most of the time,you will fail.

DJs shooting already looked better in the preseason ... no leap but still better ... combine this with his defense and I want to keep him together with White.

Lonnie Walker is the one who is overrated imo

That's like saying good singers don't need vocal coaches. They do, unless it's on an amateur level.
