jakobe & Dick were bad picks

Gradey has one issue. He shoots perfect 3s from the college three point line and can do just inside the 3pt line in the nba. Solve that and you have a starter. But he is only 21 so has plenty of time. 3rd season matters when you get drafted at 21.

People complaining about CMB. Rookie year game 15. He probably doesn't know the fire exits yet.

Yeah his mid range has actually looked good and he's a good ft shooter so it seems like the added distance is where the problem is.They're clearly trying to get him stronger in general but having him bulk up is likely going to lead to inconsistency shooting as well.

He has defensive issues and this season, he's forgotten how to hit shots above the break. He was successfully hitting them the previous two seasons, so we know he has the range. It isn't an issue of college-vs-NBA 3, I think, it's just the proximity of the defender issue coupled to a shooting slump.

Obviously it's still early, but it's annoying that there were guys picked behind him that appear to be playing better than him. Makes me wonder if we whiffed on this pick.

Queen fell back to earth.

A elite 3-D player CMB has shown the potential to be is beyond what those players are. *Shrug*

People who can't understand players can put up numbers on bad teams without being great are just simply affordable. Simple but adorable.

If he is setup in position he shoot the three but in college he could run to a spot and nail the shot using an all arm motion.

CMB has had a pretty bad year so far and has been pretty disappointing to me....Hope he can turn it around and contribute in a major way but playing behind Barnes does not do him favors.

Yeah weird take. CMB is a rotation player on a 15-7 team, that's pretty damn good for a rookie.

Maybe he's working out his arms too much during the season? All that flexing in pictures.

Heh. I don't know what it is. Maybe a defensive adjustment? I haven't watched enough video to really look at it. But he's been just brutal with a defender anywhere near him, like worse than last year by a bunch. So that's a big hurdle to overcome.

Gradey the guy to me that has a hard time adjusting to the NBA 3 distance. Not sure if it’s his mechanics, or why but he’s just an average nba 3 pt shooter thus far in his career.

lol ikr
He’s had issues with injuries but he’s also two years younger than coward.
His 3 point shot looks legit but inconsistent as is expected.
His defense looks good too. Just needs to get used to the NBA whistle. Things that come with experience. He’s a keeper.
