re: Steven Adams working on Catch and Shoot 3s

that's funny.


to be honest, his shot right there really doesn't look all that bad.


Brook Lopez is a 34% 3 point shooter, and he literally didn't start shooting 3's until he was 28 in his 9th year. although he is and always has been a 80% free throw shooter. He went from taking pretty much none for the first 8 seasons, to averaging 5.2 attempts per game in his 9th season.
Vucevic didn't start shooting 3's until he was 27, in his 7th season. He then went 3 years shooting 34%, and the last 3 have been at 40%. He also went from being 72% from the line before he starting shooting 3's, to 80% the last 6 years.
Marc Gasol didn't start shooting 3's until he was 32, in his 9th year. 37% the last 5 seasons, and he's a 78% FT shooter.
Al Horford didn't start shooting 3's until he was 29, in his 9th season. 37% in the last 6 years, career 76% FT shooter.
Ibaka started shooting 3's at 25, in year 6. 36% in the last 7 years. 76% career FT shooter.
Millsap started shooting 3's at 28 in year 8. 35% in the last 8 years. Career 74% FT shooter.


and the debbie downer part......
Adams going to be 28, entering his 9th year, but is a career 54% free throw shooter.
