Well somebody needs to.
James Jones claims to have once hit 113 consecutive three pointers in practice.
I suspect among NBA shooting guards, 15 threes in a row when totally unguarded and with no crowd isn't totally atypical.
No way Brewer hits 2 in a row without a lucky bounce.
I can't wait to see Jimmer bust out the patented Chuck Norris roundhouse kick shot in a game.
That will be awesome!
I bet Jimmer was fine with 15 in a row, but I'm sure he's done better.
Yes it was practice, but it was also after an intense workout, and there was pressure there.
You have NBA team guys watching and evaluating everything you do and you think that is the same as practice for a team you are already part of with no pressure at all? Totally different, but only half as much pressure as a real game shot if that...... but you can't say no pressure.

If Knight or Kanter hit that many consecutive 3's in a workout I think it would be a bigger deal because they are not known as 3 point shooters and certainly not considered to be on Jimmer's level in that area. Are you really drawing that comparison without realizing this?
The fact of the matter is, Jimmer is SUPPOSED to perform like that when shooting unguarded 3's because that's far and away his bread and butter heading into this draft. And yes, if Jimmer was struggling (shooting wise) at workouts, people would be jumping all over him and they'd be right to do so. Considering that he's thought of by most as the best shooter in the draft, poor shooting drills would warrant valid criticism.
Sometimes I wonder if you are actually serious with the type of arguments you present, and then I remember that you're Thriller and horrible arguments are your forte.
I once made 12 college 3's in a row. That is my personal record. Then I ****ed it up by saying I made 12 in a row, and I missed the 13th. TRUE STORY

This is my thought process as well. Once all the recruits started going back to college, Jimmer became more and more a realistic pick this high. Singleton and Morris also fill a need though, if they blow away KOC in workouts they have a small chance to unseat Jimmer. My guess is we all will be wearing Jimmer jerseys this time next year.

Yeah, and all Jimmer did in games was...uh, er...oh yeah, he won player of the year...meh, foiled again.
So if half of the Jazzfanz board can hit 10-20 in a row, and the expectation is that NBA shooters drop anywhere from 20 to 113 in a row, then this Nolan Smith character must be an absolute joke based on this video.

The more impressive thing above the 15 in a row was that they were shot after a hour and 15 minutes of hard workouts.
I think teams are looking more at form and mechanic consistency rather than makes/misses.

Let's see, I made 19 college 3's in a row. It's always that last group that gets you. I think I ended up with 21 out of 25, something like that. I noticed Jimmer had that same issue on that last group. Jumping the same way that many times seems to tire and bore your muscles.
