Jaylen Brown Hit 76/100 Threes

[The One]

Am I the only one that just flat out doesn't believe this?  I think the kid is marketing himself.  Nothing more.

weren't people at his workout?  I mean seems kind of silly to make things up when other people were there and would just call b-s on you.

Yup...too risky.

Could cost a prospect millions.

Yep, you're the only one.   

This should have been a workout that was observed, which then could easily be verified, no?

My boy Jaylen lit it up. Lets go Danny.

Ainge is drafting brown barring a trade...

That would be an insanely stupid thing to do.

This helps illustrate how naive it is to say "why doesn't Rondo practice his FT shooting". These guys bury shots in practice. They are ridiculous in drills. Watch the shootaround before a game. Everyone is burying shots left and right. In-game shots are a completely different thing.

More than the shot numbers, I would watch how they look shooting. What is the impact of fatigue on their form? Is their form consistent? But this is still like playing against a chair.

This is cool, but like I said from the time that Murray's numbers were posted, none of this is all that impressive.  My 12-year-old could hit close to 50% in an empty gym (though he'd probably get tired shooting 100 shots).

Yup this is right on.

I've seen a guy known as an NBA sharpshooter hit more than 100 in a row.

Shooting when fatigued, defended, and hell just under the pressure of being in a professional game (underrated aspect) is what sets players apart.

It's right on, true. But it's more hopeful for the future than him hitting 62 out of 100.  And even for GM's there hope in play in an iffy draft.  This is especially true for a supposed (and still probable) poor shooter whose strength is defense.  What I'm saying is that although there are lots of lights out practice shooters who can't do crud in an NBA game, there are also meh practice shooters who do enough to stay on the floor.  The 76 number is definitely, for now, a small to medium sized hole in a blanket of clouds if you like other things about Brown

If you go to Brown's twitter page he has several clips of his workouts with other teams....several shooting repeat open threes.

Yeah I don't mean to downplay it.  It's a good thing for Brown.  I just don't think it's an amazing thing and ultimately he could do that and still be really bad in game.

He did well with what he was asked to do.  It's a positive.

I just bring it up again because I see people talking about this and it's only something people have really talked about over the last couple of years.  I don't think people get how lights out NBA players are shooting around.

I'm pretty positive on Brown.  He has room to grow and I think he was in a tough situation fit wise at Cal.  Promising athletically (I think this team could really use that) and seems very smart.

Kind of true not but 100 percent

You think dwight, drummond are burying shots?  Or even Rondo?

I saw rondo at shootarounds. It was like 50-50 (better than in games). But nothing like pierce, kg, ray allen who missed like 2 shots

76 out of 100 for a guy that supposedly cant shoot is great

Btw brown prior to college ball games (but after hs) shot 38 percent from the 3 pt line.  Small sample. But its not like his shot is horrible like gerald wallace

I think he will be able to make open jump shots more often than not. That is the min required for him to become a good nba player
