Totally agree with coach Stevens statement above...
We have enough proof that Rozier is a good shooter not to give him the benefice of the doubt that maybe he is not trash and just going through a tough shooting drought like 99% of the NBA players have or will..!!
Proof? What proof?
He shot awfully last year and worse the year before.
I guess you should ask brad stevens...
(ability vs statistics)
Yeah, I could ask Brad and he could give me a good answer. He sees Rozier every day in practice. I don't. You don't.
We've seen close to no proof.
Although he shoots a pretty decent free throw percentages.
I can provide you highlights of rozier knocking down 3pt shoots and you can provide me highlights of him missing.
Like I said, one looks at ability, the other looks at the statistics...
I have seen him been relied upon in crunch time situation and he delivered cluntch 3s numerous times.
If brad stevens comments also are not enough proof for you i guess there isnt much i would say to change your mind.
The kid has the ability. He has been missing more often recently. I beleive in law of averages.
If all that is not enough for you, then I wont spend much more time arguing he has the ability, I will let Rozier shoots do the talking...
you clearly dont, because the law of averages say that he sucks as a shooter.
Its not like 2+ years is a small sample size. He was inefficient at Louisville too. Its not like this is some 2 weeks slump. He sucked shooting it as a rookie. He sucked shooting it last year and he is sucking again.
He has made big jumpers and so has Marcus Smart. Marcus Smart also sucks at shooting. There isnt anything you can do to convince me that Terry is a good shooter, because there is close to 0 evidence that he is one.
I remember the same being said of Avery...
You may remember stuff, and maybe dumb stuff was said of Avery, but that has nothing to do with truth. Avery has fundamentally always been a good shooter. He was lauded for his shooting stroke form coming out of high school. Since he became a pro, the _only_ seasons he has failed to shoot at least 35% from 3PT range were
a) His rookie season when he got no playing time and only shot 5 total 3s for the entire season. Note that he shot 37% in his extended run with the Maine Red Claws.
b) His 3rd season when he was coming back from
double shoulder surgery. He struggled badly in his first two months back, but shot fairly well (above 34%) in the last 6 or so weeks of that season.
Other than those two samples, Avery has shot 35.2% or higher and he's shot 39% or higher in 4 of his 8 seasons.
I ve seen Rozier training videos. I believe in his hard work and ability to shoot...
Anyways, here is the deal, you seat back, relax, and enjoy watching Rozier make you eat back those words, and hopefully you will be man enough to come back here and admit you were wrong about this : YOU not trusting his ability from what YOU have seen and heard, doesnt mean WE can not trust the amount of proofs WE have seen and heard....
And by law of averages i meant believing that rozier is more than a 23% 3pt shooter...
Rozier may end up being a fine shooter. I personally think his basic form is fine and most of his problems is pace.
But "believing" is not "law of averages". Please don't conflate these things.
