I think we can see why Duke didn't win it all. They had 3 top ten players, including #1 & 3, and none of them shot above 34% from the college 3Pt line.
You never go by one SL game in judging a player, but you can look at technique. Barret has a flat shot, so he has a minimal margin of error. I wasn't looking at him too closely, but did he get a lot of lift from his legs when he shot, or is he more of a limited jumper when he shoots? I expect he's not using his legs enough. I will say that although he missed this shot badly (second tweet), he did have a pretty good arc on it. Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Zion looks like he never had a coach talk to him in his life about shooting, I guess because he was the big guy who could simply overpower everyone. Amazing that he shot better from the 3 in college than Barret. If I'm guarding either of these guys, I'm backing off and daring them to shoot, especially Zion. You have to be an idiot if you try to guard him up tight. Make them prove they can shoot from midrange before you get in their face. Did not see much D from RJ, and as some have said, he didn't seem to show much energy, but that might just be him being unsure and hesitant at this early point. There are three classes of men; lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, and lovers of gain. (Plato)

Barrett didn't show me any special talent!

After one game it’s clear RJ, like all rookies, will never improve
