Yeah, I just picked up a Nurk 27 tee. A bit expensive for what it is, but today was payday so I said screw it.
It's not just practice clips. Stotts has said it too. He should know better than anyone.
It's not just practice clips? Okay, show me the statistics from NBA games where Nurkic has shot the 3pt shot well.
Dude I say that it was reasonable. I didn’t say I was expecting it. And if he does knock down at league average then we shouldn’t be surprised from all the practice clips we’ve seen. And I like to share with you one example from the past that may give you hope. Before the 2016/17 season Marc Gasol was a career 18% 3 point shooter (12/66). But during that season Marc Gasol broke out as a 3 point shooter, shooting 38.8% on 3.6 attempt a game. Since then he has remained a very good shooter from that range, especially for a big man. Now Nurkic so far in his career has been a 7% from 3s. Last year he was shooting 10%. I am NOT expecting Nurkic to make as big as a jump that Marc Gasol has but that it’s reasonable that he be close to league average, like at least 30%. And eventually it will get to league average. It’s obvious Nurkic is working very hard to include 3 point shot in his game, like he’s actually moving around knocking down 3 point shot and not just standing still and shooting it like what we see from Hassan and other guys like Tacko Fall, Dwight Howard, Javale McGee, and I for one like to think that hard work will pay off.
In those videos he actually knock down 18. Yeah nobody is guarding him but I don’t think he will be taking those shot if someone is guarding him, I think if they do he will take advantage and pass to a player cutting to the basket like what you may have seen in the other video where Nurkic passed to a cutting Dame from the 3 point line. Nurkic just need to knock down open 3s
I've made 30 in a row before. I'm definitely not hitting many in an NBA game.
