I don't blame Rondae and his people for making a video that attempts to make it look like he can shoot.
Despite their best efforts, that shot still looks busted.
Yeah. Even to my untrained eye, there's a hitch.
But then MKG's hitch got fixed and that was horrific.
I don't know if Michael Kidd-Gilchrist's hitch got fixed or not, but I do know that so far he's shot .167 from three point range over the course of his NBA career.
I live very near Charlotte, but am in NO way a Hornets' fan (probably more like a Hornets' HATER:-)), but this is a little unfair. MKG knows his range does not extend out to the three point arch and therefore attempted ZERO attempts from their this year!! He has taken a total of 18 attempts in three stinking years!! He shot 46.5% from the floor and 70.1% at the line. Not bad for a guy that allegedly canNOT shoot!! Not to mention he finished 15th in votes for All-NBA Defense. This kid's upside is HUGE. Wish we had him!!!!

I'm not saying that Kidd-Gilchrist isn't a good player. I'm saying he's not a good perimeter jump shooter.
As Celtics fans, we should know first hand that it's possible for a player to be very, very good without being a particularly good perimeter jump shooter.
true. and we should also know that when you put TWO such players together on the floor on offense, defenses can ignore them and instead double team the 1 to 2 credible shooters on the floor.
this is my concern about hollis-johnson. i am sure he is a great defensive player, but the team really needs offensive and someone who can help spread the floor on offense.
but then again, sigh, ainge should not draft based upon need, but upon bpa.
i am just hoping someone who is both a better player and a scorer is available at #16.
