Maybe it would help if Kardashian was willing to set a screen for the guy like he used to do for his pals KI and LJ.

Yeah so far the drive and kick has been decent for him. I haven't seen him take Kyrie level difficult shots over the double team yet, but that could be coming for all I know as he gets more aggressive. It was big fault of both Dion and Kyrie that they would take the more difficult shot at the rim instead of the easy pass to the big.

@LeeBuckeye is right as well. Collin isn't shooting badly from 3, when he does take it. He need to increase his attempts from there. Especially when they are laying way back like that.

It would be good if he had some elite NBA skills already like Doncic or even passing ability like Young, but getting incrementally better at a few things seems pretty doable for him. He has already shown growth.

Think our 3PA have gone up since Drew took over? well, at least it looks like the players want to shoot it more if that makes sense. They look more confident and willing.

Collin is more decisive pulling up and certainly Rodney Hood. Rodney looks way better in that department now. It does loo like we take less mid range shots now, no?

It does. They still need to take more, but we will see. A ton of guys who can shoot are out, so it's not fair to judge yet.

I think it is hard to hate on Drew for how he is handling Sexton. He seems to know he needs fewer Clarkson minutes.
 
Good game from Collin. Did some of the things I've been waiting to see.

I'm still on Dennis Schroeder/Tony Parker-level for his ceiling. But he's pushed past Ramon Sessions floor hopefully.

I'd take Tony Parker lol. Tony was amazing. Collin is already a 3 point better shooter than Tony was most of his career.

Larry appears to have a better grasp of what units work well together but was aided heavily by the Hill injury so it's a bit early to judge. Ty Lue almost figured it out last year but then TT came back from injury and Frye completely disappeared from the line-up. We went 14-2 in TT's absence then went 26-21 the rest of the way with TT in the line-up.

I think there are a few levels between Dennis Schroeder and Tony Parker but I get your point lol

There are, but somewhere nestled in-between Germany and France is Switzerland, and it's not always bad to be Switzerland.

His offensive potential is high if he develops his mid range pull up.....that is currently destroying his shooting efficiency.

He's actually finishing OK at the rim for a first year guard (52.9%).....by comparison, Chris Paul was (53.1%) as a rookie but his 16-23' is just god awful at 35.7%. Those midrange shots account for over 1/3rd of his FG attempts through 12 games. If he can either improve on that percentage or merely cut them out, he has the potential to see a nice uptick in scoring efficiency.

That's very interesting. Wasn't the mid-range his strong suit in college?

In college, 17% of his shot attempts were long midrange, and 30% were threes.

This year those percentages have basically flipped, as 36% of his shot attempts have been long midrange, and only 13% have been threes.

In college, he was getting a bit deeper......he seems to be settling more often than he should. I don't have a great reason for why.....I'd have to watch more of his tape (I admittedly have missed some of his better games).

From 10-16' he's at 43.8% on a really small sample (16 shots)......but just to illustrate the swing, if he shot 43.8% from 16-23', his FG% would go from 43.1% (respectable) to 45.7% (good-bordering on very good when you'e at the 10+ attempt threshold). That's not even a huge ask either. Probably more a matter of shot selection.

Or he could merely cut half of those attempts out and produce a similar result, assuming his percentages are relatively stable as his 16-23' attempts are re-distributed to other distances.

So basically he knows the right thing to do and needs to do something similar in the NBA.

I think it's his way of pushing out his range. I can only find his total shot chart, I wish I could find his game by game chart.
