The VJ hate on this board is unbelievable.
When he becomes a star in Charlotte (ugh), people here will be rolling their eyes and saying "How could we have known??!?"

There was no "all of the above" option.

I love the little spin to the middle then stop and spin baseline, like 4 steps and 3 shuffle steps. I get it is practice but it just cracked me up. You should practice what you will actually do in game situations. I guess he is part of the James Harden wave of modern NBA travelers.
Seriously though, the kid looks good. Albeit in an empty gym with all the focus and none of the pressure of a game situation. Simmons similarly looked like a 3 pt shooter, and Gobert had his 3 pt shooting highlights. Does not mean it will automatically translate to the NBA.
Both NBA finalists OKC and IND have 2 way Centers that could shoot 3’s (Chet and Turner).
Kessler isn’t the long term answer there.

OKC's starting center is Hartenstein, but he can shoot a bit as well.
Well depending on the match-up i guess.
The point though is they’re flexible.
OKC could easily start Chet vs Turner and he’ll hold his own and be an absolute force on offense also.
