What other coach has ever done this with a poor shooter? Especially an NBA head coach? Has that been all of Russell Westbrook's coaches? Trying to get Russell to shoot until he realizes he sucks at shooting? Well, it hasn't worked for him. Not sure about Ex's theory on this one.
Victor's looking like a poor shooter so far that is taking terrible shots. I know he's a better shooter than he's showing, but taking terrible shot after terrible shot is not going to get himself out of it. You take easier shots. Geez man, any elite shooter knows this. You take easier shots to get yourself going. I would never jack up shots from mid court if I was missing all my shots (Even if I wanted to [which I wouldn't], I'd be benched immediately). I'd be looking to take a few inside the arc to get myself going first. Those mid court shots are only shots I'd shoot if the shot clock was winding down and I have a clean look. Definitely not at the start of the shot clock (I'd only take that kind of shot if I was already red hot as a heat check if I'd already made a few), and certainly not the shot to get myself going. I have no idea what Victor is doing, and if the coaches are telling him to keep doing this, then they have no idea what they're doing either.
There's not too many actual real life Steph Curry's out there, but it seems like many people think it's OK to take those type of shots. 95% of people shouldn't be taking those type of shots.
