Anyone watch Doc Rivers youngest son play? I hear he will be the best player to come out of FL in the past 20 years. He is a 9th grader starting for Winter Park HS, last week he dropped close to 40 points on Olympia HS. I found this funny article about him schooling Rondo in a shooting contest as an 8th grader.

Matty, I agree, the art of shooting is pretty much on it's way out. NBA players aren't as elite at shooting as they once were. I still maintain that my brother could out shoot a good percentage of today's NBA players. Then again he can't dunk or isn't 6 foot 8. Thats where the difference lies. NBA players have physical attributes like no other athlete on earth.
You look confused...let me fill you in.

I coached against his son.
He definitely is more athletic and aggressive than JR is/was.
Not surprised that he is doing so well. He "might" be the best scoring guard to come out of Fl in the last 20 years if he continues to develop.

Basketball is driven by three principles:
1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability
