But yeah, his form needs to be adjusted. What I will say, though, is that he is a player that seems to be shooting better when it's an in-game situation. I've seen him badly brick a lot of shots during shoot-arounds and was surprised he was confident and shooting better (incl. how the shots look) during the games. I normally would be more worried about his shot but the one thing that makes me somewhat confident in his ability to develop in this regard is his free-throw shooting. He's 87% (72/83) on FTs this season, which is impressive especially for his age. He clearly has a natural shooting touch (evidenced also by some on his floaters) that should allow him to improve gradually.The-Power wrote:How is he anything like Exum?

Its still early to tell, but Killian has performed in his rookie season just like expected, which is very poor and bust-like.
Kill has a very poor jump shot like Exum and when I watched him in France, there was nothing about his game that looked special and he just looked very average and boaring. Just like Exum who when I watched him in Australia looked very average and boaring.
I can see why some novice NBA fans might like Killian and Exum but i never understood overhype by other fans.
Basically everything in your post became irrelevant after you opened with those five words.
Killian was thrown in the deep end after basically no offseason/summer league and, as expected, being a 19 year old rookie in the best basketball league in the world made him look decidedly terrible for his first 7 games before getting injured.
But when he returned he did look much improved, at least from a playmaking perspective. His shooting and other facets of his game still have a long way to go but there's certainly promise and it would be foolish to write him off so early.
I thought it was down right awful this year. Even when he came back he looked more average that "Much improved". Isaiah Stewart looked like your best rookie this year hands down, and I was pretty meh on Stewart before the season.
