    Now this is picking a direction!!!

    Engelland helped turn Kawahi from a bricklayer into a very good shooter. Hopefully he can do the same for Sengun and Amen.

    Wow, this is significant! This is the biggest acquisition this offseason. His track record as the GOAT shooting coach speaks for itself.

    If anyone can help Amen shoot league average on his corner 3's and develop a consistent mid-range jumper, it's this guy.

    Build him a statue if he can fix Amen's and Sengun's shot.

    If Chip can do that with Sengun and Amen, he'll be the biggest off season acquisition of the past few off seasons.

    This is huge! We all know what he's done for teams he's worked for.

    Remember this guy lighting it up in the Philippines.

    Of the issues Reed has, shot mechanics isn’t one of them.

    There’s always room for improvement.

    Maybe one of the things he also does great is influencing getting in the weight room and how to use your body with defense along with your shot. Who knows but anything will help and especially there’s always room for improvement like I said earlier.
