Chet’s shot looks really slow and flat, his handle is loose, and like the others said his frame & athleticism are not what you expect from a pro athlete. It don’t think he’s going to make another leap as a player or be able to gain much strength. That frame is probably the worst I’ve ever seen, so weak and it looks like he has an inverted chest even.

His shot has always been slow though, so that is not new

Difference mainly now is the intensity of the competition

Yea, guys closing out quicker, so shot looks even slower relatively

He should be inside feasting on easy dunks anyway. All this trying to turn the center into James Harden stuff is nonsense.
Rest in peace Kobe & Gianna

Training with pro NBA shooting coaches for 3 years should yield a better jumpshot. Competition should be irrelevant here. Somehow it's much worse than before

he's soft. the stage is too big for him. dude gets an offensive rebound and can never finish with that weak frame.
