Agreed, he is going to be given time and space to shoot, or he won’t (shouldn’t) take the shot.  But that form isn’t going to get it done if he’s asked to be a main 3 point weapon.

He may never be asked to have that role.  And I actually doubt he will.

I think everyone is looking at the wrong part of his shot.  He’s got almost zero lift which really exacerbates the release point.  It’s the combination of the two that’s the issue. He’s going to have to be really crafty to be effective from deep.

His shot reminds me of Motens…all Moten did was back up a step to get separation…but his numbers sucked from 3.

The only guy I’ve seen shoot really well consistently with that little lift was Shumpert,..who had a crazy high and quick release.

Having said all that, all he has to do is prove he can hit wide open threes and use ball fakes to beat defenders off the drive.

If he shows up thinking he’s just going to audition his deep game for the league, he’s going see more pine that he wants.

Gerry had incredible lift, it made up for him being 6 foot.  This photo and what you see from Bunch are quite different.
