This is not complicated.
Actually it just makes Bilal's shooting this past season look that much worse because he already had a year of NBA experience. The other two didn't yet still shot far better outside 3 feet.
So can you find any comps that actually shot as bad/worse than Bilal at 20 and became good players?
False. Playing along with your bizarre obsession with the 3-10&10-16 ft range:
Anunoby in his 2nd NBA season (age 21, 1 year older than Bilal):
3-10: 27%
10-16: 33% (on 9 total shots)
Bridges 2nd NBA season (at age 23, 3 full years older than Bilal):
3-10: 33%
10-16: 36%
Bilal:
3-10: 34%
10-16: 28%
I don’t think anyone would be bothered by you outright stating “I am not a fan of Coulibaly” instead of whatever this is. Signing off of this one
Again the reason I brought up those ranges was to show Bilal shot poorly from everywhere since everyone was only looking at 3s, which were obviously awful.
45% of OGs attempts were from 3 and he shot 37% from 3, hence he shot far better than Bilal outside 3 feet. It wasn't close.
Over the past two seasons Bilal has taken 20% of his shots from 3 to 10 feet. OG only took 5% of his shots from that range as a rookie so his shooting in that range isn't as important as it is with Bilal.
If Bilal shot 55% from midrange like Bub then I would be more optimistic about his shot going forward. But he shot poorly from everywhere outside 3 feet. That isn't an opinion it's a fact. When he tries to create space for a jumper I can't help but cringe.
