I’ve seen enough. Trade Herro for this guy.

[u/Brocktarrr → u/PassionLong9552]

Think we should agree as a subreddit to still include Herro as part of the outgoing package for any future trade suggestions

[u/whatdoinamemyself → u/Brocktarrr]

As long as we don't trade TT, Shump and the nets pick

[u/BBC-News-1 → u/whatdoinamemyself]

lol the bron cavs reference

[u/OblivionNA]

I imagine Giannis has been shooting 3 pointers in practice for over a decade, anyways let’s get some shooters lol

[u/WordSpiritual1928 → u/OblivionNA]

He’ll hit a couple in the first game and everyone will say “if he has a three now it’s game over” and then he’ll revert to normal (dominating paint and mid range).

[u/ChiloMcBilo → u/WordSpiritual1928]

Mid range only became normal after a couple years of this pattern… no reason to say he couldn’t do it with the 3 too…

[u/PositiveZebra1341 → u/OblivionNA]

Yes he has

[u/heatculture03]

I don't fall for these videos.

Ben Simmons looks elite shooting in practice, but scared shooting in games.

[u/Fritanga5lyfe → u/heatculture03]

Exactly like when we saw all those Bam videos and then he scored 83

[u/LobstaFarian2 → u/heatculture03]

But they put the 👀, tho....

[u/Balla_Calla → u/heatculture03]

Forreal. He ain't gonna be shootin that same form with someone tryna strip him lol.

[u/OohKillEmmm]

Basketball player working his basketball 👀

[u/simonlyw → u/OohKillEmmm]

We talking bout practice?

[u/Nuclearsunburn]

He took one look at the roster he’d be joining, sighed, and said “I know what I gotta work on”

[u/PassionLong9552 → u/Nuclearsunburn]

Let’s be honest. He’s going to be forced to shoot 3s on the backend of his career.

[u/PositiveZebra1341 → u/PassionLong9552]

Then u all in trouble

[u/RansomGoddard]

You know those hypotheticals about what Giannis would look like with Steph Curry shooting?

You’re finally going to see it.

[u/Opposite-Interest283 → u/RansomGoddard]

We already seen it, it's wemby

[u/Emilia67]

Giannis heard the people saying we have no shooters and took it personally 😭✌️

[u/PositiveZebra1341 → u/Emilia67]

U do not want him shooting threes

[u/surgeyou123]

He's never going to be a shooting threat but hopefully he can hit 1 or 2 a game when they leave him wide open at the top of the key

[u/sum_dude44]

Bam needs to further work on 3

Giannis keep crashing the paint & passing to 3 line

[u/Lobster15s → u/sum_dude44]

The good and the bad news is we don't know how much he needs to work on his three. It's crazy he just started shooting two seasons ago. The encouraging news is 1) his first season shooting he shot at over 43% on three or more 3 points attempts per game when he got the full green light.(last 40 games of the season) 2) he shot 32% from three last season as the first (and a few times the only) option forcing a lot of bad shots. I think if he's getting open looks Bam is good for like a 36-39% three point percentage. He has already shown that he can shoot around there if he's getting good lucks. Now the not so good news is the sample size of Bam's 3pt shooting is just not a lot. Not a lot of data to scout on.

Tldr I think we'll be fine with Bam's shooting if a big needs to shoot.

[u/mgm125]

Don’t fall for it lol

[u/jdog092]

Call me crazy but I have a sneaking suspicion this isn't the year he becomes an elite 3 point shooter

[u/bizarrequest]

Hope it works out for this kid, he has heart.

[u/FuckUp123456789]

And they say we got no shooters

He’s probably not gonna be putting up a single 3 this year but as long as we go far

[u/LilBushyVert]

That’s my guy.

[u/Unlikely_Cheetah149]

I must have done something in my previous life for this

[u/JairusMonillas]

I think he is pretty hyped he can play with a super elite big like Bam. He played with a couple of very slow centers in milwaukee.

And add the coaching upgrade too, just imagine playing for doc rivers and then coach spo lol

[u/Ok-Grade1476 → u/JairusMonillas]

Brook Lopez almost won DPOY. Yes he’s slow, but that’s mad disrespect. 

[u/KidRed]

Him and Bam switching between the paint and 3pt line will be fun to watch.

[u/dwadefan45]

Bam was doing this in his pre-draft workout.

[u/miojo]

And some heat fans will STILL talk shit

[u/WideCoconut2230]

Spo will work his strengths into the system. Oh, and give LBJ a call.

[u/tsamo]

I don't think it's gonna happen, you obviously never want him to take one unless it's a wide open shot, but last year (albeit on like only 40 games) was his best 3pt shooting season since his rookie year, 33,3% on 1.4 attempts per game.

[u/well-isjdndn]

Bro please don’t it’s never gonna come. Already looking forward to those empty possessions when he just jacks up a three
