@nbafanatikz @TheDirtyNorth @ESefko@mcuban Let me set a scene. You’re a trying out for an nba team. They want to see your jump shot since you said you were a jump shooter. Where do you pull up from? 10 ft!?!??! 13ft, 16ft? Let’s be real here. I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not. But I give up. LOL.
@nbafanatikz @TheDirtyNorth @ESefko@mcuban Either it’s a layup or a jumper right? Where do teardrops/floaters fall? In my mind, and I think the minds of most basketball fans, a jump shooter shoots mainly from distance further than 16. 10-16 ft should be makeable for most skilled nba players.
@nbafanatikz@ESefko@mcuban Someone that takes jumpshots doesn’t automatically make them a “jump shooter”. You’re insinuating that’s all they do. i.e. not posting up/driving
@TheDirtyNorth @nbafanatikz@ESefko@mcuban LOL. Thank you. That’s precisely my point. Derozan almost never settles for an open jumper. He seeks contact and gets closer to the rim at all times. He’s one of the most aggressive players in the nba. Maybe it’s a difference between looking at stats and watching film.
@nbafanatikz@ESefko@mcuban By your standards Lamarcus Aldridge is a jump shooter. Derozan is more slasher/pull-up/get to the rim guy than “jump shooter “. Back to the original point of the article, he’s a poor example of someone getting and inordinate amount of foul calls.
@nbafanatikz@ESefko@mcuban I could see if you were talking about harden or some guy that plays to the refs to make your point about foul calls, my point is Derozan usually earns those calls.
@nbafanatikz@ESefko@mcuban Those 10-16 foot shots are all highly contested. He’s a very good bad shot maker. There are only a couple of players that take more highly contested shots than he does.
@nbafanatikz@ESefko@mcuban He drives to the midrange, hence the foul calls. He’s not the prototypical jump shooter and rarely shoots threes. I think he was mischaracterized in the article.
