Back to the topic of learning to shoot. While I have no doubt that many of the best shooters separate themselves relatively early, there are certainly GREAT examples of players who learned to be great shooters. Kawhi Leonard and Kyle Lowry are two.

Kawhi shot 25% on 164 attempts in college, came to San Antonio where they tweaked his form and then he shot around 37% for the first few seasons but continually increased his attempts. Now, he's leading the league in 3fg% at 49% and has already eclipsed his highest # of attempted 3s in a season.

Lowry pretty much didn't shoot 3s at Villanova because he couldn't really. He shot 33% on a grand total of 40 attempts over 2 seasons. Then, he went to the NBA and shot around 28% for his first 5-6 years, but really worked on his shot and upped his attempts and % and is now about a 38-40% shooter.

These guys may not be the rule, they're probably the exception, but they definitely learned to shoot, when before they couldn't.
