Zach Lowe dumps on Kings - in other news, water is wet

I also wanted to bring up his high school shooting stats and compare them side by side:

High School: 0.5 3PM / 1.7 3PA / .286 3PT % / 3.9 FTM / 5.8 FTA / .675 FT%
College-Duke: 0.7 3PM / 1.8 3PA / .397 3PT% / 4.0 FTM / 6.3 FTA / .627 FT%
Both (HS-Duke): 0.6 3PM / 1.7 3PA / .346 3PT% / 4.0 FTM / 6.1 FTA / .648 FT%

That's quite the jump in 3PT% when the line is further back in college. What is the outlier? It's such a small sample size with these one and dones, I think their shooting form plays a much bigger role in a scouts decision. On Bogdanovic's first 57 3PAs (Bagley shot 58 at Duke) as a pro, he shot 33%. It's hard to judge solely by 3PT%.

I will say that I really like his form, and that his jumper looks very smooth. Knowing his work ethic, drive, and thirst to get better, I can see him becoming a 38%-42% 3pt shooter in this league. It might not be at a high volume where he is taking contested or step back threes, but I think he can become a very good shooter when it's all said and done.

Agreed. If he's a good enough shooter to get teams to try and run him off the line he's going to be a menace with his athleticism/size going to the basket.

Lol no I mean the guy who chocked away a chance to steal game 1.

" I mean the guy who chocked away a chance to steal game 1"

"lmao are you serious? and what did he do? so great Lebron cant wait to get the hell outta there"

"Yeah the guy who averaged 7 pts 2.5asst and a half a rebound a game in 28 minutes. That real winner there."
So you're saying Hill isn't very good.

Ok, then why did Vlade sign the guy to a 3 year $57 million dollar contract within the past year if he wasn't very good.

Would you say that Vlade made a mistake in signing him? As a result you are stuck with 11 million Shumpert contract.

Yes Vlade did mess up by signing him but I think his logic was he would trade him this summer had Hill not fallen off a cliff.

I think Cousins played 25mpg or something like that in college. Big difference playing for Calipari vs Coach K.

That's because Cousins conditioning was no good. Another add on to the comparison is that Marvin is in better shape coming out of college as well
