Miami has to get this boy back on track. Can't have a distraction like him dragging the team down

Does that game change your mind on Nunn potential and abilities?

You have to consider this to be his rookie season. Like Precious, KZ is a project. His minutes have been very inconsistent. Like Precious you see the physical talent.
IMO I seen KZ as Boris Diaw type of player naturally. However thats not the role the Heat wants him to play. They brought in Ariza to show KZ what they want out of him. But a high volume 3 pt shooting will be tough thing to teach him to be. I thinks he can be a competent 3 pt shooter but very skeptical for it to be his main part of his game.

I agree at this point of the season he needs to be more reliable offensively. However, I think the Heat need him. His defensive skill set is built for who the Heat will face in the playoffs. Plus have poor backcourt defenders in Herro, Nunn and Dragic they really need KZ skill set defensively.IggieCC wrote:twix2500 wrote:No KZ is not a natural shooter.

thanks for this. i was under the wrong assumption that he CAN shoot. probably misinformation by RexBoyWonder.
hope he can get it together because as long as he's playing we need him to be a lot better out there. show some aggression, something. he does defensively from time to time and that's probably keeping him on the roster (and injuries).
This I agree with 100%. I think Nunn has the physical tools to get to the free throw line a lot. It would take his offensive game to the next level. Its something I used to harp on Beasley about. If Nunn can incorporate drawing fouls he would be at least an 18 pts per game player.IggieCC wrote:twix2500 wrote:Didn't get to see the game last night yet.

if he can get to the line like 4-6 times consistently, absolutely. his stroke is pure and his attacking the basket is adequate (CAN NOT Draw fouls though

The New York Knicks have become the latest NBA team to install Noah Basketball’s shot tracking system. Noah’s computer vision cameras were placed on six baskets at the MSG Training Center in Tarrytown, N.Y, making the Knicks the most equipped NBA team with Noah Basketball, according to the company.
More than half of NBA teams use Noah, including the Portland Trail Blazers and Toronto Raptors. The WNBA’s Washington Mystics and hundreds of top high school and college basketball teams use Noah, including Virginia.
