I'm setting a fairly low bar for Fox and his outside shooting for the first two or three years. I just want him to be able to hit open 20 footers at a high percentage and on a consistent basis. In so doing, he would be a legit threat and teams would be penalized if they slough off of him to double-team others. Sure, it would be great if he could hit 3 pointers rather than 2 pointers if he's open, but I think that's asking too much for the first couple of years. Let's not have a situation where a rookie takes it upon himself to get 3 point shooting lessons during NBA games when he's not currently equipped to make them. We've seen that kind of behavior with others, e.g. Thomas Robinson. Joerger is perfect for tutoring the young man because of his experience with Mike Conley, who was very judicious with the shots he took in his early years in the NBA and who steadily improved his range to the 3 point line.
By the way, the above is what I fully expect in the coaching of Fox. Look at Skal and how Joerger had him focus on his inside game last year. He wasn't bombing away from the 3 point line, and he in fact has more touch from that distance than Fox at this point. The message was obviously sent to Skal: Focus first on your inside game and get good at that; then with time incorporate more 3 point shooting. Do the tough stuff first; the easy stuff later. Joerger is coaching the right way, not the easy way, and it's going to pay off in the future.
