I wouldn't say he's a consistent shooter from the 3 point line.

Free throw % is a good indicator of how good of a shooter someone is, he's 67%. I just don't see him developing a serviceable 3 point shot within 3/4 years.

I believe the biggest factor with his success will be how well he improves his body.

He is a smart player, skilled in the post, a very solid passer (second best in assists per 40 for power forwards, first amongst centres) and a solid defender in the Adriatic league, however whether or not he has the athleticism to defend in the NBA will be seen.

He's also a pretty big guy, 250 lbs, 6'11" in shoes, 7'3" wingspan, 9'3" standing reach which is good for a centre, let alone a power forward.

Definitely a good draft and stash pick. To me, he feels like a bigger but obviously less experienced Luis Scola. Their style of play is very similar.

You just quintuple-posted. You really do not need to make a separate post for every single thought that enters your head about a prospect.

If you shoot only 31% from three, then you aren't a particularly good shooter.

However, Jocic's sample size of shots is too small to determine if he really is a good shooter, a bad shooter, or a mediocre shooter. Still, the FT% is not encouraging.

The total number of 3 pointers made is completely useless and I'd appreciate it if you didn't post it. 3P% and number of attempts are what matter. TJ Warren, CJ Fair, Isaiah Austin all cannot shoot for $hit. Vonleh and Anderson took far too few 3 pointers to say if they can shot or not. Making more 3's than them does not mean anything.

1， can you help find the JOkic Thread? you are so funny, I like u
2, is it payne a good shooter？

1， can you help find the JOkic Thread? you are so funny, I like u

There is a search function, but I think you might not understand what I meant. You posted 5 times in your own thread within two hours. That isn't necessary. Just edit your own post to include new information, or don't post a new thread until you've gathered all the information that you want to post.

2, is it payne a good shooter？

You will note that I didn't mention Payne or Alec Brown in my post, and for good reason. They are seniors who, over a larger sample of shots for their careers, have shown us that they can in fact shoot 3s well. However, I'm not sure how they are relevant. They have both made more 3's than Jokic has during his career. In fact I'm not sure why you're just posting the number of 3 pointers made by random prospects.

[Baller2014]

I was just looking for some info on Jokic. The guy just stayed in the draft, after wavering, so I'm guessing he's got a promise from a team. Probably in the 2nd round with either the Spurs, or one of the Spurs affiliated front offices (Atlanta, OKC, Utah or Magic).

[greenandgold]

Jokic doesn't need to shoot outrageously from three. He measures out as a full-size NBA center: 6'11" height, 7'3" wingspan, 9'3" reach, 253 pounds at 19 years old. He's a center, maybe a finesse center like Ilgauskas, but not a stretch 4.

With that kind of size at that young age it's exciting to see a decent jump shot and passing ability.

Kid is a bigger Doug
huge potential

based on what you said, they are good shooters
how about their 3P made last 14 games?
how about their last 22 3P made?

14 games is too small of a sample size to judge a shooter. You want something around 200 3 point attempts before you start to draw meaningful conclusions about how good of a shooter a guy is. For instance, Alec Brown has taken 195 3 pointers during his college career and hit exactly 40% of them, so there's little question that he is a good shooter.

I have no clue what you'd want to know about the last 22 3 pointers made. What relevance does that have?

And Jokic does not compare to McDermott in the slightest. McDermott took nearly 600 3 pointers and hit an incredible 45.8% of them, putting him up their with the absolute best snipers from long range alive. Jokic hit 31% of his 3's from a shorter line in Europe on only 130 attempts, which would put him bellow the NBA average of 36%. McDermott his over 80% of his free throws too, compared to under 70% for Jokic. The gab between them as shooters is monumental.

I dont think so

when doug is 19, how about his shot? also, how about dirk 19yrs?
I check last 14 games, alec brown made about 16 3P, Payne made 24 3P.

This article has a number in it that I want to cross-check:
"but Nikola Jokic's outrageous 80% shooting from 2-point range"

Can anyone confirm this percentage?!? I assume he's doing this with a really effective post game (there is no way I believe 80% on jumpers). Can anyone who's seen some whole games of his comment on how good Jokic is in the post.
