Buddy, Isaiah, J'elon, Cam, Amath...

I really like the work you all put in this season, but...


... Please put up 100 shots a night until next season opener.

Lets say 250-500 a day

I don't know about the other days this past week. But, Monday Buddy put up literally 1000 after practice. The kids coming back are the willing workers. We will be better next year because the kids that it will be up to are the ones that are going to work the hardest.

I truly believe Buddy will be much more efficient next season.

 

[OKUman]

why would you recruit any player who shoots like 75 % of our players? I don't get it.

What has happened to Hield's shot is alarming. At times earlier in the year he looked like our best, yes, our best outside shooter. Now he cannot throw it in the ocean. And message to M'Baye: Please quit jacking 3s.. Two games where you hit a couple, does not make you 3 point capable...

I suspect it has something to do with the orthotic and the stiff sole he had to wear in his shoe to protect his foot.

How often do poor shooters become good shooters later in their career? Jason Kidd did it in the NBA, but he seems to be an outlier. M'baye has the potential to score inside like Osby did this year, but he'll never be a shooter. Cam has been here three years and can't shoot. Cousins and Hornbeak are so far off that I can't imagine them ever becoming good shooters. I do have hopes for Hield though, and the 2 freshmen guards will have a chance as well.

Shoot until your hands bleed.

Hundreds of guys in the NBA. Lebron included.

I will try to be nice and just respond with :facepalm

I am so tired of contested 3's early in the shot clock - if they fell it would only be slightly different - quit being lazy and find a better shot; you can take that shot anytime. And I'm sick and tired of everyone with a PF/C body thinking they're Dirk and jacking up 3's that don't fall (not directed towards Osby so much).

No doubt!! In fact, many of the highest rated players of all time entered the league with average shooter or below average shooter scouting reports.

MJ, Kobe, LaBron, Kidd, and many others were so use to using their superior athleticism to score, they had to learn to shoot efficiently at the next level. Now all of them are knock down shooters....... Tony Parker is another.

Your criticism of Hornbeak's 3 point shot is incorrect. He's not a lights out shooter but he's an efficient shooter who will only get better. Check his % this season from downtown. He's not "so far off." Not close.

Cousins' shot does need some work. Herky jerky and mechanically inconsistent. Hope and believe he'll put in the work.
