Walker Kessler Hype & Appreciation Thread

Empty gym etc. etc., but that’s a lot better than the usual Simmons, Gobert et al off season shooting videos. If he actually can shoot some 3s in game at around 35% or so, he’s gonna be a big problem for opponents.

I’d settle for him moving into the mid-to-high 70’s on free throws. That bumps his numbers up significantly and makes it so you can’t just foul him to take him out of the offensive game plan.

The question is will they actually let him. There were plenty of times last season where he had the ball in a good shooting position with no one around him and he awkwardly looked at the rim while holding the ball to pass instead of just taking the open shot. I hate it when coaches do that. Let the guy take the ****ing shot. What do we have to lose in many of these scenarios anyway? And we stand to gain a lot if he develops some confidence and is suddenly a threat for the corner 3. At his size and with his other skills that is a mother****ing game changer, even if he only got to maybe 33 or 34%.

I think Hardy understands the value of a 3D 5. Problem with Walker needs to be more consistent from range in a general sense and Fts in particular.
