You can moan and groan all you want my man. Of course Filipowski has things to be concerned about. I just don't think that 3pt shooting is one of them.The other difference is that I'm not going around guaranteeing that Clowney is going to be a three point shooter.
It's one thing to believe in a guy and think he will be the exception, it's another to act like it's not an exception that someone who sucks at shooting 3's at college will become good at it in the NBA. Flip's percentage isn't just bad, it's very bad and even lower than the "low 30's" mark being brought up multiple times. He's not even at low 30's! You seem to think that the fact that some guys did it automatically means Flip will. It's not impossible, it would just be exceptional for him to improve that much. I'm not saying it's impossible, but the confidence that people speak about his jump shot is kinda crazy.
It's also not the only concern with Flip. He has the worst percentage at the rim of any big man prospect, and it's not by a little it's by a lot. If it weren't for GG, he'd really be on his own island as everyone is like 10%+ better than him. I can already see the "bad spacing" comments. He's not the only big that plays with poor spacing. Two most important areas on the court for him and he was really bad at both.
It's funny because I think I was one of the first people who respond to @Handlogten's Heros saying that I like Flip..He's got an interesting mix of skills and size for sure...but it became clear that people like him MUCH more and too the point where they don't see being awful at the rim and awful behind the three point line as red flags.
Of course the dude has some roughs games and efficiency wasn't always there, but the guy was putting his team in position to win games as a Freshman on Duke as the focal point if the offense. His tasks were just harder than most other freshman.
