    Default Welp, all that's left now is to do it in an actual NBA game (Ben Simmons shooting)

    So, clearly he can shoot IN GAMES... can he do it in an NBA game? If not, it's pretty obvious that it's almost exclusively psychological at this point.

    And if he starts doing this with consistency... the league is so ****ed. Philly is winning multiple titles, if they stay healthy.

    The thing is it is 3pt shooting. He shot and hit one in that video.

    The turn around and the midrange shots we see him shoot in games all the time.

    He just gotta put up outside shots. Like you said it is the willingness to do so.

    If he shot 30% from 3 this season on 2 attempts per game I would be super happy.

    just develop an elbow jumper for now like russ did. Taking a spot up 3 every other game isnt a bad goal either so basically what kenneth faried did on the rockets

    Reports are saying that this footage was taken over the course of 2 days of scrimmages and over those 2 days he went 1/71 from behind the arc and his shooting was also responsible for 2 concussions and a UFO sighting. Later reports confirmed what many suspected, that the 1 shot that did go in was shot by a body double hired by Rich Paul.

    Bias aside, I think we should be title favorites. The Lakers are the biggest threat IMO.

    A Sixers-Lakers Finals would likely break ratings records.

    so like every nba player EVER could shoot 80% from 3 in scrimmage games. This isn't telling at all.

    Shawn Marion used to shoot like a 7th grade female. If it goes in, it goes in.
