2024 NBA Draft Mega Thread

And just a comparison... empty gym I will shoot about 80% from three... that's without a passer. I did not make it in the nba. Open gym even guys that can't shoot should be able to shoot if you know what I mean.

It was good enough to be the third best shooting performance at the combine. It was the same for everybody.

We all saw that he wasn't just a bad shooter but more importantly - he was reluctant shooter in college. This would be a problem if it continues. My point about the combine was - maybe he's been working on it and he's getting more confident with it. We won't know for sure until at the very least the summer league(at least about the willingness to shoot), but I definitely prefer him killing the shooting workout at the combine than still being bad at it.

Which is great obvi... so maybe he's been in the lab.

Damn, I liked Castle but now I know he had one bad shooting warmup on some random game day last year I'm totally out.

You literally are the same person who dropped Topic from like 3rd to 20th due to his wingspan that you correctly argued was incorrect to begin with lmao.

A lot of people were coming to his defense saying, "if he was just confident he can shoot". While I think there is some validity to that....chances are he's not confident in shooting because he can't shoot.

As one of those people I resemble this comment


I think my argument was he passes up shots as part of the game plan. I am not shaken on him really at all but I just didn't love that comment.

Yep... that's my hope. And it's a must if he's going to be a good NBA player.

You are welcome to find out if you'd like. I play a lot and when I just go shoot open gym I started counting years ago.

It was a confluence of everything and putting it all into the proper context.

Post the video. I highly doubt you shooting 80% consistently on NBA 3's, especially without a rebounder.

Sexton seems like a hot commodity right now.

A writer covering the Raptors threw out this package:

Sexton/29/32 for Brown/19/31

Damn that is bad.

Its really just to show how good they really are. I watched Robert Swift bomb threes in a league. Most of these guys should be draining threes open gym even if they aren't shooters.
