Maybe undersized was the wrong word. he doesnt have great size/length/wingspan. it is unlikely he develops into a shot blocker. As far as his jump shot he shot 0% from three in college and 28% this year on almost no attempts. i dont know there is any evidence he has a jump shot. could he add one? sure, but you could say that about every bigman under 22 as well. He has no exsisting desired NBA skill.If Cam can develop that three point shot he will be a solid pro. That in itself will increase his value.
Well he is shooting 28% from three and just 32% from the college line. He also wouldnt just need to be an average shooter from three, he would need to be a really good one, since the only value he adds is scoring. It isnt like Bruce Brown where if he adds a three he becomes an outstanding 3 & D player and above avg athlete. Cam isnt a very good athlete, isnt a very good defender and at 6'4" doesnt have great size.
This isnt being "down" on these guys or "not giving them a chance"
we are talking about 2 very late 1st round picks, a second round pick, and an undrafted rookie. the odds any of them become a long-term rotation player is low. The warriors young guys have the advantage that they all come in with at least 1 desirable NBA ready skill.
Edwards is the only guy we have like that
Why does Sharpe's three point shooting percentage matter? You don't need your backup C shooting 3s. Drummond doesn't, Claxton doesn't.
Cam's shot is not broken. He can definitely improve. It's unlikely he becomes a starter on a contender, but he can definitely get a team buckets & allow them to tread water while stars are getting a breather.
