    I’m wondering if he doesn’t have enough time to shoot it the way he wants at this level?

    He doesn’t looked cocked and ready to go. It seems to want more time to wind up before shooting.

    I don’t know his summer league averages, but I’m sure they are a far cry away from the 42% he averaged in college

    I’m worried we have a Ryan Anderson or Duncan Robinson w/ some defense.

    When games matter and we have a decent sample size to judge. We're looking at a four-game sample size in a pickup game environment with poor coaching, and he's taking a lot of contested jumpers.

    If we're 20-25 games into the regular season and he's shooting this poorly, that's cause for concern. It's not yet, IMO.

    That he’s looked this good with no jump shot, I’m more encouraged than anything else. He’s an impact player regardless and I didn’t know that going in.

    2nd or 3rd season. There’s, hopefully, going to be zero spacing this year for tanking purposes.

    FT% 1st season.

    His shot looks flat. Kind of like T-Mac's shot.

    Not worried per say but if it's still flat by the time the season starts, I'm going to be wondering who altered his shooting motion.

    76ers fans said they weren't worried about Fultz for his entire first season and look how that turned out.

    Maybe I’ll address it with some
    Seriousness when he’s no longer a teenager or maybe when he’s old enough to actually drink. Because who cares right now

    My psychic said this thread was coming. I hoped she was wrong, but she never is.

    Dude are you kidding? The reason he doesn't have time is because he is literally forced to shoot with a guy right on him.

    The guards he has played with so far (not named tyty) are selfish, ballhog chuckers.

    When he plays with real NBA guards that consistently feed him the ball on time after drive and kicks, he is going to be a knock down shooter. Not to mention, he has been shooting lights out from midrange.

    Not worried. At all. His floor is well above average shooter.

    If at the end of the season his shooting percentages are bad, I’ll be slightly concerned, but that’s 9 months away.

    Would be suprised if he's not hitting at 40% by the ASB. Enough time for things to slow down. Should be comfortable by then.

    Will probably be a lot sooner.

    That's the last thing that we should worry about.

    Summer league means N O T H I N G. Like absolutely nothing at all. Otherwise Donte Green would be the GOAT and Trae Young would be in China. Josh Christopher gets posed by Dion Waiters every summer league. Don't be fooled.
