Yeah, it could be improved - that could be said for the majority of rookies.

The mechanics look good. Doesn't seem to get much lift from the legs...that would be helpful in getting his shot off once official games are played, and there are actual players defending his shot.

Other than that, the mechanics look real good. Pause.

he apparently improved his form after the college season. Comparing his shot from his college games and these workout videos, you can really tell the difference. I think thats the reason why he shot up the draft board

Once the kid gets some actual proper lift from his legs into the shot, issa wrap.

Think Ray Allen jumping up and down in a telephone booth.

Beuh his shot looks so much quicker and smoother. Looking like a bigger kawhi he just needs to learn those one on one moves and turnarounds and damn

Is it me or doesn't it feel like David Johnson and Suggs are the exact same kind of player it's just that one was Branded really well because of winning and the other one is just like in the corn Flakes that you would see in the supermarket that's not branded Kellogg's

Salvation Army Suggs. Would be wild if we actually end up getting a prospect that's comparable with the 47th pick.

He wanted to play PG (Cade was starting) and FSU generally doesn't play anyone more than 30 mins

maybe his problem is that he's always surveying the floor and not looking at the basket until the last second. He shoots just fine in practice when he's focused on the rim.

I need to see him shoot off the dribble. His potential isn’t realized if he doesn’t have the ball in his hands

I don't wanna hear any bs about being like Ben Simmons...he looks a 100x more fluid and comfortable shooting on the go and doesn't have that funny hitch that Ben or Draymond have in their shots.

If anything his mechanics are looking like OG's (if not better), he's just going to need be consistent. Overall form and fluidity look drastically improved, that you can flashes of him actually developing into SF/PF scoring threat and its only been a single summer. We might have just drafted a gem!

The fact he’s already managed to tweak his shot within a few months and have it look so much better already gives me lots of hope. Shows he’s working his ass off to fix his biggest weakness

Hell yeah.

That shot is aight. He will put in the work to get that stroke down (pause) to be effective in the NBA.

It ain't like he is going to completely disregard the J like Ben Simmons when its go time.
