Bingo. You can’t expect Vinson to boost everyone’s 3 point percentage by 4 points. Some guys will show solid improvement, some will improve a lot, and others the methods/training just won’t take. He’s just like any other coach in that regard. But he’s had some clear successes and his reputation is stellar throughout the league. Letting go of him would be a mistake imo. I mean what players do the Pels have that were good shooters at the time we acquired them? CJ and Trey? BI and Josh Richardson, kinda?

Yeah.. get rid of the one guy on the staff that's universally respected throughout the league for doing a good job.


Why can’t the Pels shoot? Also my question also brings up how long he’s been here. Sometimes a change is needed for everyone OKC hired England away from San Antonio IIRC.
Fred was promoted, doing both might be too much.


We have the best training staff in the league and a top 3 shooting coach in the league yet we can’t stay healthy or shoot.

Anyone here want a new training staff?

Because we don't have shooters.

He's a shooting coach, not a miracle worker. He can't magically make guys like Jose and Herb average shooters, that's asking a bit much.

Truth is, we have only 3 dudes on our entire roster who you can trust to get you a 3, and 1 of them doesn't really shoot it much. That's the issue and no shooting coach can turn that 3 into like 5 or 6 dudes like we need.

Agreed, and we would get shooting MUCH quicker if we changed the roster and swapped guys like Jose/Herb/Naji(not saying you have to get rid of all of them) for guys who can shoot the 3 than by keeping the same team and getting a new shooting coach.
