Is CJ really much different from Randy Foye?

Yes, dramatically more skilled, and a better shooter.

I'm glad someone put that in this thread. Those numbers are what I like to see. I like the fact that it is consistent from every angle. That is a good quality to have.

Doesn't seem very good to me if he was just shooting wide open 3's with no defense.
I feel like I could shoot that well myself

To be honest, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be impressed by these numbers.

Ha. Looks like we saw the same thing. I guess they're not awful, but I think it shows he's not prolific from deep.

Does anyone know how good those numbers are seeing as he's doing that without defenders in an empty gym type situation?

Good shooters will hit more of those shots in workouts. I wouldn't say this is terrible though.

 

[Julie Greengiant]

Yes, dramatically more skilled, and a better shooter.

I maintain he's Jamal Crawford

Not to mention he's doing it standing still not on the move or off the dribble which is another story all together..

 

[Dr. Jones]

Yes, dramatically more skilled, and a better shooter.

Better understanding of the game. More cerebral.

Didn't jimmer make like 17 threes in a row in one of his workouts?

But you're not German.

This was from Brandon Knight's workout a few years ago... there's a little bit of 3pt shooting drill at 0.58min mark. He made 4-6 of the 3pt that he shot in the small clip. Brandon's probably one of the better 3pt shooter coming out of college.

So although Schroeder's numbers aren't "good", they're not "bad" neither.

BTW MCW had a similar numbers shooting 55% of NBA 3pt shot at a workout Chad Ford attended.

[David Stern]

I'm sorry, but I could care less how many 3 pointers a guy has in an empty gym.

Walt Perrin on Schroeder:

- Struggled early but finished strong
- Seems a bit tired & homesick
- He can get to "deep paint", good explosiveness around the wing coming round the corner
- Still has lots to learn & pick up
- Has a lot of athleticism
- Dennis is a better shooter than Rondo and a better offensive player at the same stage
- Rondo is better at defense
- There's a lot of things he needs to work on, finish against big guys, more discipline defensively, ...
- Has quickness & speed that you can't teach
- Has played against "Men" so he's tougher than some college guys this year

On Adams vs Enes

- Enes has more Int. experience
- Enes much better offensive player
- Enes more aggressive rebounder / Steven is pretty good..
- Adams still young, but good upside
- Performed well at workout
- Stepped out 15-18 feet and shot well
- "Intriguing"

Peyton

- Peyton was good, played hard, takes advantage of situations, tough little player
- He'll do well on an NBA team
- Shooting is a problem, but has got a lot better this year
- Size is a problem

General

- We try to get "winners" who knows how to win. Winners are very important to us (i.e., Siva is a winner)
- So far.. nobody in these workouts has surprised him
