He's 8 feet tall

Will this guy ever stop growing? This time next year, him and embiid will he swapping positions

Yes. We can start by changing zhaire and Ben’s position on that picture.

Pretty sure Ben was standing on a higher ground

it's a joke...

No way. Most contracts aren’t even an inch thick.

Maybe he was stepping all over them 1 dollar bills

So will he be a better shooter than Giannis next season?

Short answer: No
Long answer: Hell no

Giannis shot 25% from 3 last year at 3 attempts per game. He would have qualified bottom of the NBA if not for the fact he failed to qualify by making 82 shots for the year (He made 52 from 203) (Worst was Westbrook with 29%).

I know Ben refused to even take them in the past... but surely he could not be any worse than Giannis with the same amount of attempts this year. I reckon half of RealGM could do better than Giannis... and the world cup is showing not much has changed.

[Negrodamus]

I don't think it's much of a stretch to think that the guy who refuses to take threes because of his goofy form is going to be a worse three point shooter than Giannis.

You vastly overestimate the skill of the average Joe, and have a skewed perception of how difficult three point shooting is for non-shooters...even non-shooters who play in the NBA.

1) Ben could absolutely shoot worse than 25%. I'd bet the house on it, in fact
2) There is zero chance that any poster on this board could shoot 25% over the course of an actual NBA season. Zero.

You owe me a house in a few months

We will finally have an answer if Ben really is a 7 foot point guard now.

[snoopdogg88]

watching the Eagles game 10 feet away from him tonight at Trademans in center city lol.

christian crosby is also here

[Bum Adebayo]

I expect him to cement himself as a top 5 player this season, he is that good.

[Rastas]

Damn , just saw him swish 4 in a row from the centre of court , maybe get him to shoot his free throws from there.

[GWPhilly34]

Watch on YouTube

Meaningless to his development but I love his current swagger. That is the confidence he needs to bring into this season. If he does, I am expecting big things.

[Bum Adebayo]

Shot looks so much improved, he is ready to dominate.

[Negrodamus]

He should have been shooting from half court this whole time.

[Sixerscan]

Should sign that other guy for spacing off the bench

[76ciology]

Any chance ben would have a much improved in game shooting like taking challenged midrange shots and being an average spot up 3pt shooter, while still being a bad ft shooter?
