He clearly comfortable enough within the mid range to play him so just play him. I don't understand the fascination about the 3 at this point. He can hit FT's and can shoot off the dribble that should be enough for him to get through this abomination of a first year.

Right, reportedly an aau coach or personal trainer did this.
Either way, if they’ve been working on this for two months, why is his release point so low and there a weird hitch? Either bad coaching or he is not receptive or adept to benefit from good coaching.
Make him play. If he needs to improve at shooting, he can do that during or after season.
Says it all right there. Ask yourself, do you think this would be happening if he was on the Spurs? HEEEELLL NOOOO.
I’m trying to think if I’ve ever seen a good shooter change their shot and become a bad shooter. It might be unprecedented.

Actually if you ask me which Center I want for my perfect championship caliber team, I will chose Asik hands down

No one see's clips of him shooting normally in the mid range because most people don't really care. They want the outrage and panic.
Fact is outside of the free-throws and some off the dribble shooting I haven't seen him shoot 2 jumpers the same way. It's inconsistent which makes sense after you tweak your motion to support an injury and will likely continue to be until he get's time to specifically focus on his shooting(off season). Having said that a lot of young players have inconsistent mechanics and it by itself is not enough to keep you off the court. Get him on the court.

Yeah even the 3 point shots look like they have better form, despite the horrible outcomes. These videos are very encouraging tbh.
