Well it could have been a contributing factor..

I don't think so. Maybe it would be the difference between averaging 2 more PPG, but it's not a make or break ability for the NBA, especially when you have elite burst off two.

Well it’s a moot point now that Cam isn’t a 2 feet jumper…
Yes! Him!

What I want to know more is who the Caleb Martin of this class is, and can we get him UDFA walk on.
I am betting it will be someone like Omari Moore.
The potential late first Jimi is Whitehead imo if the injuries keep pushing down the stock, or Lundy if his late bloom hits plateau late first early 2nd.
Such an lol stat for a guy that yacked on everyone all year. But okay. Same as being concerned about a player's 20-foot jumpshot when they shoot >40% from 3.
Klintman just passed the eye test on so many levels. Super fluid mover on or off the ball. Shot looks pretty. He has + passing ability and has passing flair. Has great length and size. Does a bit of everything on the court.

No prospect is perfect. Every player has some flaw or faults. Black struggled to shoot from 3 and Hendricks struggled at the rim but I would still gladly take either.
Hoping to find more players that "struggle at the rim", then.
I know you are smart enough to understand why touch on non dunk attempts is a lot more important than your ability to make long 2 pointers
Dunks aren't factored in
It should be so that’s misleading. He should just say layups.
He shot 40% on layups in the halfcourt and 44.7% on layups overall.
That sounds like a stat coach Nick would quote for Gobert... even though he dunks almost everything around the rim. At the end of the day it matters what his efficiency is, not what some super small sample of shots says...
Wasn't he supposed to have received a promise from a team(the Pacers?) if I'm not mistaken?

Calculating an "at the rim" percentage but arbitrarily removing dunks seems like a remarkably stupid way to statistic. What was Lauri's "at the rim, but remove the dunks" percentage? Nobody knows and nobody cares because that is moronic, especially for players who yam it a lot.
