You realize Stockton was already an apex shooter. I think it is the Point Guard position that is in question and not his shooting.
I was watching some highlights and he consistently shoots about 3 to 4 feet behind the 3-pt line without any hesitation and nails it a la Curry. I feel very confident he'll step on the NBA court and shoot .380 - .400 to start.
What actually happened to Jimmer because I think his skillset would have made him at least a 12th man on the roster.....seems odd.
I read he had a huge ego problem and refused to adapt to being a support player after his career at BYU. Also, his handles were weak, he couldn't get separation or defend or do anything but shoot.
John Stockton is probably my most hated NBA player ever…but damn that pasty gangster (as Jim Rome used to call him) could shoot
LOL. This should be a reality check for everyone NBA is several times harder than NCAA. Midgets who look lile they wont struggle in the NCAA can't even shoot open shots in the NBA. Having a 42 inch vert as expected is useless AF if the player doesnt have extreme speed and lane agility. The lesson learned here is size and athleticism are very important and you would rather have a Jalen Green or Amen Thompson with a broke jumpshot and little to no skills than a highly skilled midget with Trex arms. You can teach shooting and defense but you can't teach height and athleticism. My only hope now is Sheppard is only 19 he can still grow a couple of inches like Sengun, Bilal Coulabily and Jalen.
