Following potential 2013 draftees

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Name me one player who shoots 50% from the FT line who is a good shooter.

1 thing remains extremely constant across all levels of basketball, the FT line is 15 feet away from the goal and no one guards you while you shoot them.

I said the ft % scared me but I think he will improve on that and I never said he was a dead eye shooter. If he still can't hit an ft at a better rate in workouts then I'll sower on him as well, but I'm sure he will be made to prove himself a better ft shooter in workouts

isn't chandler parsons a bad FT shooter

isn't chandler parsons a bad FT shooter

73% this year.

He was bad in college though. Over his 4 years he averaged about 60% and each year there was a fairly large difference in #'s.

McCollum, greek freak and wolters works for me

I actually thought Cleveland should have gone kanter and knight.

I guess if they though Kanter was on Irving's level, they very well might have. But I think Irving was their guy.

Comparing Hayward to Karasev, I'd say Karasev is the more talented shooter. Being a shooter is probably his role, and other stuff is added value. Hayward is a facilitator who can shoot well from time to time. I don't think they're redundant.

I still like Goodwin and would take a long look at 21. I still think he has the talent to be a Latrell Sprewell or James Harden caliber player. I love the raw talent.

We're similar. German general, Greek feak, Geen for me.

I don't like the name Greek Freak as a nickname. I think it's cheesy and not very respectful. It would be like calling Kevin Durant the Texas Freak. I get that Greek Freak rhymes and all, kinda like The Great Grape Ape. But why not just call him Giannis?

Ok, what if we just called him GA?

The 50% ft shooting does bother me a lot but as far as the other shooting stats go, he does have some shooting skills and he's young with some floor skills as I've read about him. I think he has some upside, and think he will improve as he gets older and gets used to the speed of the game. Didn't Hayward shoot under 30% from three his last year at Butler, and I don't think he's shot under 40% from three at the nba level. My gut tells me he will be better then the guys that will probably be there at pick 21.

Faulty argument on Hayward. He showed his first year of college that he could shoot, and a players shooting touch doesn't just go away.

Saric is terrible. I don't see how people can watch his film and come away impressed, I think he sucks. Can't shoot and he's even worse on defense.
