He could not shoot: He worked to improve

He can’t pass. He worked to improve

He can’t play defense. He worked to improve. I think I am most impressed with his progress on defense. He is all over the place and is like a pesky gnat

    I remember watching the draft with my dad when we picked him. I didn’t really know much about him, but said “we got a starting guard from Kentucky at 21? There’s just something different about Kentucky guards”. Crazy how its panned out.

    I also remember my dad bein unimpressed by his 3pt shooting cuz it wasn’t great in college. I wasn’t too concerned cuz he hit FT’s well. Fun fact for those who don’t know - lots of studies have been done that show free throw shooting is a better indicator of one’s shooting potential than their raw 3pt numbers (likely because its rooted in fundamentals). Thats why some college 3pt gunners (like Trae Young or Lonzo Ball) end up being mediocre in the league, but other guys (Maxey or Tatum) grow into it really quickly.
