2023 NBA Draft Megathread

Jimmer shot 39% from 3 in college and 37% from 3 in the NBA.

Adam Morrison shot 37% in college, 42% his last year, and managed 33% in the nba.

I am sure we can find a lot more that did worse. My bet is it is a pretty normal distribution for how many find their shot in the nba vs how many lose their shot in the nba.
 
The things that will really swing Flip as a potential lottery pick will be his wingspan and athletic testing.

I'm guessing a 7'1 wingspan at just under 7' in shoes. I think the surprise will be that his max vert will be 35''.

If he ends up being bigger than everyone expects (like over 7' in shoes, with over a +2'' wingspan, that would give him a nice boost.

I wouldn’t consider going from 39% to 37% losing your shot.

Jimmer and Morrison just flat out busted out of the NBA (mostly due to lack of defense), so they never really got a chance to hone in as NBA 3pt shooters.
 
If you take anything away from these numbers at all it seems like 3PT% as a freshman is one of the least important numbers there is.

that and sample size matters. you look at guys like zhaire smith and jaden springer who had unbelievable percentages from three as freshmen but only took 1 three per game. both major busts mostly because they couldn't shoot for ****.

Smith a bust because he got injured constantly and nearly died from a peanut injury that basically zapped his body of all muscle mass.
