em·brace
emˈbrās/: accept or support willingly and enthusiastically.

You support, enthusiastically, Gordon's poor shooting? That's odd.

I, personally, hope he gets much better at it if we select him, but to each their own, eh?

Accept willingly that he is a bad shooter.
 
Embrace

An act of accepting or supporting something willingly or enthusiastically.

Point made.
 
Andrew Wiggins had more 40+ point games than Vonleh had 20+ point games.

Just a fun fact.. ;)
 
in the context of his age, height, weight, hand-size and college position you'd have to conceed that vonleh's shooting is pretty good, based on 3pt and FT%'s, no?

how would you characterize his shooting? average? overrated? does he not get great rotation or arc on his shot?

it was not in IU's offense to put him in a position to shoot 3's constantly, him starting out the Wisconsin upset with 2 3's in the opening minutes was not something you saw earlier in the season.

you can take whatever stretch of games you want and point out the good and bad, its all relevant i guess.

in conference and out of conference play is always something that at least deserves a look, kids playing in big conferences see a major step up in competition, in 16 B10 games Vonleh shot 15-25.. i dont see how pointing out that he wasnt shooting 3's in certan stretches of the season can disprove that proficiency in the B10

Kelly Olynyk never took more than .9 3's per game in 3 years of college. i dont remember too many posters last season questioning the quality of his shooting.

Nice stat, what was his 3pt% in the NCAA Tournament or NIT when it matters the most? Also, I think he is a little above average shooter for his height and position, but don't see him having NBA range nor being a great shooter.

How many 20 point games did Derrick Favors have? 2? is that really all that much better.

Nerlens Noel had no 20 point games, Neither did Steven Adams all 3 played C in college, are they all doomed by this pivotal indicator?

for all the lack of 20 pt scoring capability, per 40 mins he averaged 17 points on 10.9 shots

He had 18 points in 24 minutes vs Washington in a blowout, if that game was close he'd easily have had 20 points.
