I hope this is how Raptors players are working on their jump shooting instead of the OG mechanical jumpshooting we're used to.

I feel like th NBA has evolved into more of a movement shooting league and the Raptors haven't kept up.

I don't know to what degree, but Barnes has definitely added the turn around jump shot to his game.

Cannot wait for more extended clips but you can see Gradey with a late contest and Pascal and Dowtin Jr. quietly counseling him in the background.

Jalen Green always looks like a superstar in these types of events. Summer League, Rico Hines. Guy just can't put it together in an organized setting. Hope he can figure it out someday because he does have a ton of talent.

Some happy and welcome highlights of our squad. Will say Dick has to not be such a gambler on defense. He is tall and athletic he just needs more patience.

Jesus every thread I open up, you’re just in there saying some dumb ass ****

He can’t put it together in an organized setting?? He’s won gold in FIBA multiple times as a high schooler and is highly decorated.

He’s going into just his 3rd year in the nba, with a similar projection to Devin booker after 2 seasons. He’s far from a finished project and yet “he just can’t put it together”

I’m genuinely shocked at how you couldn’t put two and two together and realize I was referring to the NBA. No one cares about the under-17 FIBA tournament. Lol. Green is so athletically gifted that it’s expected he would play well. Green has been an awful disappointment thus far. That doesn’t mean he can’t get better. I expect him too.

Los isn't the brightest tool in the shed box when it comes to players he doesn't watch.

some good plays by Schroder against the USA; might be good in PnR with Precious/Koloko. the dribble/drive game is something we didn't have last year on the bench either.

Lol ok continue to be genuinely shocked guy :lol:

Like I said, he’s played 2 seasons in the nba on a **** team. Awful disappointment… You expected superstar production from him in his first 2 years??

I’m not genuinely shocked at your usual awful player assessments :lol:

Gradey is going to be such a great complimentary player beside scottie and siakam

my only fear is his defence but if we can hide him on that end like the Heat does Duncan Robinson, he should be fine.
