At the same stage of their careers, Okeke probably has the advantage in that regard, but Gordon is a better shooter right now than Okeke.
Okeke isn't a great shooter. He hit 39% of his threes, but he only shot 70% from the free throw line and only hit 30% of his 2-point jump shots.
Okeke shot a lot of corner threes. He often camped there in offensive sets or rolled there after setting a screen. It's important to note that the 3-point line in college was 15 inches shorter than in the NBA (it will be moved to the international distance starting next year).
39% is very solid to me for a 3/4. A lot of his threes were corner but he also hit a good amount from a good distance behind the three line in the pick and pop. I would be interested to know the sample size on those long twos. He is really efficient in the post and close to the basket so I would argue that is where it really matters as well as three point percentage. 2 point jump shots are worst statistical shot.
Fine print disclaimer for Fultz:
I am high on Markelle Fultz. Yes I understand he is not perfect and needs to shoot more and better and turn the ball over less. I would really like to see him play one more year… and I did and he sucks time to move on.

Waiting on our 2nd round pick; hopefully they don't sell it. Just draft some draft nd stash if there's no roster spot for next season.

Re: NBA DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION + DRAFT NIGHT THREAD
It's just hard to see a team like the Hawks come into a draft aggressively, knowing exactly what they want and rebuild their entire roster in 2 drafts.
Meanwhile, Weltman continues to take the slow methodical approach while we still have the huge holes and long-term question marks in the backcourt as we do yet still keep drafting frontcourt players.
I just really hope Weltman knows something about Fultz that I don't and that Ross doesn't walk this summer as well because if we come into another season with a backcourt of DJ/Evan with no Ross to save them off the bench we are going to be in for a brutally long year. Especially when our FC players have trouble creating for themselves like they do. They need a playmaker in the worst way.

I'd be ok with dealing #46 for a future 2nd but don't sell it for cash.

Bol slides to the Warriors who develop him really slowly, but transform him into Durant 2.0.
