I'm enjoying the much more professional announcers this year. Let's face it, if I'm watching the NBA summer league the least they can do is have some announcers with a decent amount of knowledge, and information like these guys.

I'm just giving updates on the player I wanted to see this summer league outside of our own team. I think most people who can't see the games appreciate it being that he is a hometown guy.

But it must be said that I don't think "he looks lost". Its clear they are playing him like the 3rd option or something, they have been having him spot up down in the corner for much of the offense, and most of his teammates are just gunning it when they get the chance. He has made the team already so they don't have much reason to try and go to him.

Henderson's numbers aren't great, but he sure looks like the kind of guy who should be getting minutes with the Bobcats.

Actually, if you are being strategic in trying to make a team, and you had to pass to someone wouldn't you pass to the guy who already made the team, than to a guy who is competing with you for the 15th spot?

I've watched enough summer league games over the years to know that pretty much nobody passes unless all other options have been completely exhausted.

Oh, I don't know. I could see him becoming a high-percentage shooter. I just don't like what it's likely to do to the rest of his game.

He's spent the past three offseasons working on a jumpshot that has shown 0% improvement. It's like watching Shaq shoot free throws.

It's fundamentally flawed in so many ways I wouldn't know where to begin. We have great shooting coaches, he's putting in the work, etc., and the level 1 fundamentals have not changed.

You cannot consistently hit a three pointer with a flat shot off of your palm. A 10 footer is different, but not a three.

It is not going to improve. Imo it should be a sticky, or in the faq because it shouldn't be debatable (again, just my opinion).

He's spent the past three offseasons working on a jumpshot that has shown 0% improvement. It's fundamentally flawed in multiple ways.

It is not going to improve. Imo, it should be a sticky, or in the faq. It's a certainty.

this is mcbobbers? i thought his shot looked OK last year. his numbers are nothing to write home about, but they are better than they were the year before (which, admittedly, is not saying much since he shot 0-10 in 08-09)

Are you at every practice? I'm very confused at how someone could be sure of 0% improvement when a guy hasn't played much to show one way or the other.

2 years ago he didn't even play here, and only took 10 shots. How can you tell how good of a jumper he has? 2 years ago he took 83 shots in very little playing time. You're telling me you can tell improvement in a jump shot in such small sample sizes?

I'm sorry, I'm calling shenanigans. You're just making assumptions, and trying to pass them off as fact.

Re: The Official Summer League game thread

I don't have to be at practice. He has the same mechanics he had two years ago. I don't know why this is being questioned? I can pull out the tapes to prove it.

I hate the idea of JOB forcing McRoberts to turn into Murphy, just as much as the next guy, but I don't know how you can say his shot won't improve. Form matters, but not nearly as much as you are claiming. You can shoot with the worst form imaginable, but if you get up enough shots and practice enough you can still improve it immensely. Immediately I think of a guy like Shawn Marion. His shot is, by all accounts, hideous, but he did improve over the course of his career.

Josh shot 35% from 3 last year. That's better than Kobe.
