Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 1349109"] When the defense can't afford to put their best defender on him and certainly can't afford to have the defender (best or worst) not play any help defense, yes, Cooney would shoot a better percentage. He was a 37.5% 3pt shooter when he had some talent around him (Ennis, Grant, Fair). He was even a 36% 3pt shooter for the first 2/3 of this dumpster fire of a season. The kid can shoot. He's not one of the greatest shooters, though, who can hit conested jumper after contested jumper. When he's healthy, an open jumper has a really really good change of dropping. When he's forced to shoot 'bad' shots because that's what he'd instructed to do and because nobody else on the team can create offense, then he struggles, just like Matt Roe did when he wasn't playing with a team full of talented players.
