If you watch him shoot now as compared to last year he has changed his shot for the better. He can defend for sure. When he on the floor and open he has not been passed the ball like they do for Nesmith.
I saw hope on last few drive he reminded me of Jaylen a little lost when he got to the rim. I am hopeful with a healthy off season he will do a Robert Williams and things will click.
His shot looks better the JB's did at this same juncture in his career. Remember JB looked like he was going to shoot like Smart. If Romeo has the same work ethic as JB he will be an adequate shooter. I love Romeo and if he can get a full off season healthy he will look like a different player next year. I know some are down on him because stats matter to them but if you watch the kid you can absolutely see he belongs on a NBA floor. People keep bringing up James Young. When James played you knew he didn't belong. He was a step slow in everything he did. Very slow recognition and processing of plays. You don't see this with Romeo. I am a believer of Romeo. I think he can have the same type of career as Avery Bradly but bigger. I've seen good cuts to the hoop. He attacks the rim, really good defensive positioning and can switch 1-3. Decent shooting form. Much better then even his rookie season. Right now he needs playing time and conditioning. He won't get that until this offseason if he can stay healthy. I'll take that all day.
James Young was one of the worst defensive ball watchers I ever saw in the NBA. He would get near his guy, start looking at who had the ball, then would freeze there not moving looking at the player with the ball while his man ran free getting wide open for cuts and layups or movement into open space for catch and shoot baskets. It was infuriating. Langford isn't anything like that.
