This Topic can't shoot stuff is going overboard. He isn't consistent yet but he has a good shooting stroke and I would be surprised if he doesn't improve his consistency. I don't think we are looking at a Rubio situation with him where it is always a liability.

FT% is actually the best indicator of whether a player will be able to shoot from 3pt range.
I'm really high on Carrington but he doesn't shoot the lights out. I do think he will end up being a solid shooter but this year he shot 32% from 3 which is bad for a guard. He was really streaky where he would have solid stretches which gives you some hope for where he can get to.
So why doesn't he shoot it better from 3 then?
I just don't like drafting a guy based off of "what if".
With Topic most of the film that I watched had him shooting a lot of off the dribble 3's which tend to be a lower percentage than open catch and shoot looks. I would be interested to know what his percentages are when he gets catch and shoot look.

It’s not uncommon. Luka Doncic would probably be the most common example.
Yep. Percentages can get skewed pretty easily by the quality of looks. You have guys like Royce O'neale taking open catch and shoot looks while you have lead ball handlers taking more difficult off the dribble shots and end of shot clock forced looks.
His stroke isn't good for a 3pt shot. I guess we can say it's consistent because of the FT%, but the form is objectively bad (borderline broken). It very much is a Rubio situation because his form makes his **** extremely flat. He also doesn't have any midrange shot or floater to speak of.
Latest ESPN mock draft just dropped:
Atlanta hasn’t been able to secure a workout with Sarr. Risacher and Clingan remain potential candidates to go at 1. They could also trade back a couple spots.
Sarr did workout for Washington and they would likely take him if he was there at 2.
Sheppard’s draft range is extremely small. It’s unlikely he falls past 3 or 4.
If Risacher and Sheppard are off the board at 4 the Spurs likely pick Castle.
Teams are thinking Detroit takes Buzelis at 5.
Knecht’s draft range is becoming narrow. Teams don’t think he will fall past 7 or 8.
Clingan is a trade up candidate but teams drafting 3-6 aren’t interested in taking him for themselves.
Dillingham will be working out for the Spurs and Pistons. Utah and Chicago are interested in securing workouts with him as well. The Jazz and Bulls are seen as potential landing spots if the Spurs don’t take him at 8.
Williams will have worked out for every team in the top-10 except Houston. He’s a candidate to go in the top-8.
Topic is visiting teams and the Jazz are on his schedule. They have us taking him at 10 in their latest mock this morning.

Luka was a volume shooter who took hard shots, not comparable as shooters in the slightest
