THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[HOU$TON]

Luka for his career is at 7 3PA per game and is shooting = .324
Lonzo for his career is at 5 3PA per game and is shooting = 320

On Open threes this year he's shooting 34%
On wide Open threes this year he's shooting 28%

Now before these stan boys come in here i'm not saying that Lonzo & him are anywhere near the same tier in terms of scoring.

But Luka as of now is not a good 3pt shooter... like not at all. It also doesn't help that like Harden he looks to take contested stepbacks

Just watching him I never would have thought his 3pt% was that low

 

[Moheezy]

Genuinely surprised Adidas or Puma didn't sign him after last season.

Come to think of it, with his dad bod, NB might be the perfect shoe company to sign him.

Or Nike could make him the face of the Air Monarch...

Ben Simmons shooting with the qrong hand is so funny to me. Laugh out loud funny. Why do some people do this? Aren’t Bron and Russ lefthanded also? Deandre throws a football/baseball right handed but shoots left handed. So weird to me

 

[vood99]

Adidas got too many sigs out right now.

Puma or UA gonna give him the bag.

He's good for a team shoe, signature shoe? Nah he ain't marketable.
Probably a Chinese brand will give him a sig, but not Nike or adidas will.

alchemist iq You have to think of Luka's marketability outside of the US. Cat should be able to move shoes in the EU and Middle/Far East.

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Has anyone's summer tapes translated into the season?

From Melo to DSJ to now Simmons.

Oh for sure. Lebron's taco consumption on Tuesdays as part of his weekly workout regimen got him playing at MVP levels yet again. As if he didn't have anything else to prove right?

Ntm his squad on pace to win like 65-67 games.

We all saw it coming tho.

"He's gonna need to shoot if we wanna win"

Too early to say for some...the kids we’ve seen forced to dribble under hurdles and practice lay-ups from the FT line while jumping over foam pads, etc. may still hit big...

Free Embiid

 

[trynafeelmink]

Just watching him I never would have thought his 3pt% was that low

At first i figured it was like that because of the difficulty of shots he's taking, but even based off last year

Open shots - 33%
Wide Open shots - 35%

He's still gonna be a threat to the defense from there because he takes them so often, but it's not ideal for someone who's not that good of a shooter to be taking 43% percent of their shots from there. But the Analytics love it i guess

NB trash Moheezy - those clowns could not make or release a single Leonard joint while he was in Toronto. You'd think they saved their production and marketing budget for his move to LA based on the launch colourways, etc...

 

[akajae]

so when is the podcast popping off??

I need audio documentation of buc em and wavycrocket meltdowns at the end of the season.

Luka not a true talent shooter?

 

[alchemist iq]

Hoody melo is back...

 

[bballkid11]

MELOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

MVP My guy backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Luka’s 3pt shooting definitely leaves a bit to be desired, but it’s not like you want him to stop taking them. It opens up the rest of the game for him.

Just watching him I never would have thought his 3pt% was that low

It could be because he’s so efficient on 2 pointers kinda tend to not notice his long misses

He’s more a scorer than a shooter at this point but he’s proved to be clutch from 3 already many times

I really dunno about Ben but some ppl are just better with their off hand at different things. I do 95 percent of everything with my right hand but the other 5 percent feels more natural with my left

Example. There was this asian version of jacks I used to play growing up. I was terrible at it with my right but I was good at it with my left

While he does do the Harden-stepback quite often, he does attack the hoop more, which I think is a good sign. That has always been my issue with Harden come playoff time, where he seems to get lazy and only settles for the stepback 3, instead of attacking the paint and utilizing his floater.

The way Luka attacks the hoop is more Bron-like, which makes sense considering he says that’s the guy he models his game after.
