How many bad shooters actually became good?

Thats my point most good shooters already have that skill before being pro.....I hate that Raptor fans bank on every non shooter or non offensive player as the next Kawhi Leonard.....dont understand despite our development thats a outlier,if it wasnt thered be 100 Kawhi's....Barnes is likely gonna be a below average shooter for his career...ive seen people point to Siakam and OG.....Anunoby is a stationary shooter and does next to zero shooting off the dribble and Siakam shot under 30 % from 3 and is a below league average shooter at 6-9...So despite there improvements they still arent reliable shooters night to night so to use them as examples for Barnes ur actually making MY point for me and that is despite 5-6 years of shooting work he wil likely still be a below median league shooter....

If we waive Baynes,Gillsepie and dont pick up Hoods option we will be at about 28-29 million in free agency...

After yesterday, I wouldn't put it past the Raps to re-sign Lowry and keep him until the trade deadline.(is the allowed in the CBA?)

What offers will be better? ones before the start of next season or ones at the deadline?

Tell me this excites you,i dont see the high ceiling..I see a role player...

His shooting form fukkn stinks and his finishing at the rim is also awful....

IM gonna laugh at all of you trying to force this narrative this guy has limitless potential and ceiling based on the fact he has a 7'3" wingspan with next to zero skills developed heading to the league.

I cant force myself to like this pick or come around to it,its more terrible every video package i see...

I think this is the one time they arent gonna bring Lowry back....too many holes.
:francis:Even with Lowry, I'm still 50/50 they may sign him back. And Gillsepie for sure is staying.

If there was a time to check yourself of the raptor bus, now is that time. The moment I realized we weren't in any position to sign Giannis, I've been worried.

We haven't stocking up on real talent. If we aren't going to sign talent, draft talent, or trade for talent, then where is it going to come from?

They are too caught up in trying to build a system than trying to build a roster.
