It's better than a DeRozan low volume bad percentage.
Yeah you are right, I should've specified on the initial post. The point is, a good percentage does not matter if the volume is low.

Not true on an individual level. Decent to good percentage on a low volume means that's it's not your preferred shot, but if people simply pack the paint and don't come out to defend the perimeter, they pay... Unlike the example of Derozan - poor percentage on low volume - where defenders simply back off and wait for the drive.
On a team level, yes some volume is needed, but that can be from 2 or 3 shooters who like the outside in a given lineup... 5 would be nice, but it's not necessary.
I have to say; I’m not overly excited about Keldon. He’s obviously way better than most G League players but I have my doubts about his role in the nba.
No brainer pick but as of now it’s hard for me to see the upside with him even though I love his energy and motor.
You have a good point.
I think my concern right now is that the team needs shooters that are better overall players than Pop's preferred Bryn, Marco and Patty lineups and Keldon definitely is not a volume shooter and right now even his shot is in question. I suspect he's reworked it and needs reps with the new shot but one never knows.
Either way, Spurs need to keep shopping for better shooters.
That's the Key problem with him, 85/19 (3p% 22.5) horrible. He is shooting but not hitting.
In modern NBA he cannot survive with that 3P%.
So if Dwayne Wade was a rookie in this era, u would indefinitely keep him in the g league? And giannis is surviving pretty well to this point
Give me that over someone oozing with talent that is lazy and uninspired
I think he started like 0/25, or something. That's pretty hard to move upwards quickly.
Keldon staying at the Spurs gym all week per iam__3's instagram. Hes almost got that Kobe physique.
Calling him up now carol is toast
He’s a ing tank. Don’t understand why peeps say he won’t finish at the rim in the NBA. Between his build and body control, he’ll be just fine. Last time on the floor for SA, within seconds, he drove right, threw his body into a defender, and got a bunny layup.
Yep mentioned that right after the play - "good to see one of his strengths in the GLeague translated to the NBA."
Yeah I like him outmuscling players for cheapies like that but he needs to just keep on working on that 3 ball. I see no reason why he can’t be our PJ Tucker in 2 years.
Lol nice 8 lbs kettle bells lol nba strength. Jesus
I'm already sold on keldon. Dude shows no fear.
Keldon cant hit the three but he supposedly has a "dog" mentality. Spurs need somebody with that mentality. It is a shame a rookie will show the veterans(young and old ones) that hunger and hustle. It can be contagious. Bring him up now! Gotta shake things up
?? Other than a few games with Austin to get some floor time, he's been "up" for the better part of a month now.
Me thinks he means permanently with consistent NBA minutes.
Looks sorta like a honey badger out on the court, always hustling and scruffling, but not a lot of skills yet
He did a decent job a couple of times down the court defending CP3 with the Harden technique, and finished strong on multiple occasions. 9p/3r/3a in 13 minutes speaks of some skills.
Spend all summer on the 3 and adding a few lbs of muscle. Then, he can be the 3 and D guy we need desperately.
Yeah as a SG/part time 3. Not THE one and only. We still have 0 SFs on the team after all.
I agree, we need 2 SFs, a great starter and a solid backup. Hopefully, we can find both in this draft.....mostly the starter though. Bring in Keldon as the 2nd SG off the bench, if he makes his stroke consistent.
Looks like Luka will be the 3 for the Spurs. His game translates more to a 3 than a 4.
