yes
I know but thats a really bad sign.
Look at Tony Parker. Not saying that he is on that level but then again it takes some players time. Even Chris Paul had some bad years shooting and remains a reluctant shooter(before recently).
Yeah - Parker had a couple rocky early years shooting but he has been so great after that.
Not saying he can't do it but it will take a lot of work. He has really become better in every other aspect.
Take a look at his numbers from three again and it has been more than a couple. Also, look at how few attempts he takes from three.
John wall need to learn to take less mid range shots.
Parker has been up and down from 3 but he does not take that many attempts (like wade) and he is still very efficient (like wade).
Crap! I was looking up Walls number and by mistake I was looking at John Wallace
I could not understand what was going on and why his numbers were so terrible.
Oh yeah Wall has come up. I just think he needs his coaching telling him to attack the basket more and not to settle. He should really watch some young Parker tape to learn how to use his speed and then slow down in traffic to make the right play.
However players like Parker and Wade are just amazing and old school players being so good from 2.
