Wow that shooting. Eye-wateringly bad. I could probably shoot better from 3. ****.

I remember watching Bryon Russell and Jamie Watson work out together at the Deseret Gym way back when I was a pup. Those guys could barely hit the side of the backboard on a mid-range jumper. Russell became a reliable shooter after a few years. It can be done. I just don't think Cody has worked on that part of his game that much.

It can absolutely be done. I was a good shooter in high school and after, lead my team in 3pt% and such. Can't remember, something like low-40's, which was really good at the time. Had good range, out to NBA range. But after back and neck surgery with a partial spinal fusion it completely wrecked my form. But at 30 y.o. I got into a rec league in Reno and volunteered at a local high school as a coach part time. I worked with their shooting coach and he really helped me get my form back, really re-tooled it since my arm and back don't flex the way they used to, and I lost a lot of strength in my shooting arm. I cannot shoot like I used to, especially now at a million years old, but at the time in that league over the next 6 or 7 years I got my percentages back up to high-30's and was reliable from mid-range and 80%+ on FT. You can absolutely work your way into being a decent shooter. Malone and his free throws are testament to that, from under 50% his rookie year to nearly 80% later in his career. But it takes serious work and repetition. Hopefully Cody has the work ethic to improve.

I think it is true for many players but not all. Some spend hours and hours in the gym and never become good shooters. I wonder about Collier.
