I still do a "Rafer cringe" every time Kyle shoots the three. I think it's just a habit I'll have to learn to break if this keeps up.
I've been pondering this question for about four months. Just want to say I've decided yes. Yes he can hit the broadside of a barn.
It really is mind boggling how a guy can have such a quick turnaround in outside shooting ability at such a late age. Has he ever stated any change to his form or approach to shooting three pointers as reasoning for his sudden dead-eye skills? It baffles me to the point that I still can't bring myself to believe that it is real and I still expect him to come back down to earth at some point and start shooting 30% from behind the arc again at some point.
shooting is the easiest thing to get better at..you just have to put in the time and be consistent with it, which is what Kyle has obviously done. On the other hand post moves and perimeter D are amongst the hardest to improve on imo.
Very true, there are many good and above average shooters who are in the league right now who started out well below average. Gerald Wallace raja bell al harrington come to mind
Not me...sigh....I am glad Kyle has become what he has become, I just pray that he doesn't pull a Brooks and this be his career year. If Kyle keeps improving, I am more than happy to cheer him on as the starting PG on the team. DD
I just want to note that Barnes can hit the broad side of a broad. http://hellobeautiful.com/gossip-ne...s-matt-barnes-arrested-for-domestic-violence/
I didn't start this thread but I could have. At the time Lowry was sucking up the floor. If he played as good then as he is now we would clearly be a playoff team. You can only talk about what you have seen; are seeing now and base what you will see on that. Kyle's pathetic three point shooting was his history. ANd not one team was even considering him a threat out there and he was afraid to shoot it from out there. Passing on way to many threes in games when he was wide open. That made him a major liability. No one leaves him wide open anymore and he is still a much better shooter now. Let's hope he keeps it that way. On a team with a lot of surprises Lowry might be the best one.
At the time I voted 'no', but now that he is on fire and shooting better statistically, I would be an idiot to vote 'no'. FUNNY HOW THAT WORKS.
I totally remember this thread, and I voted no, who would've thought he improved his shooting in like 2 months.
