Prove me wrong. Can both Capela and DJ hit mid-range shots? I rarely see either of them spot up some mid-range shots if there's any
.
Easily done, like taking candy from a baby it was so easy. Look at this video on his jumpers, watch it.
You see he is not comfortable in his jump shot and it looks awkward around the 38 second mark.
You can see it clearly around the fifty second mark

He has what is called a hitch in his jump shot which is unnecessary movement. It slows down his shot and it also extra movement hurts accuracy.
Also:
Ghastly jump shooting numbers across two seasons at Texas A&M. Will he ever become a credible mid-range threat?

Has been working to extend his range, but still lacks any consistency with his jump shot ... Very poor free throw shooter who needs work on his shot mechanics ..

He attempted 18 three-pointers all of last year while only making two of them. While he did happen to hit both of those threes in the last 2 games of the season, he just didn’t show the ability to hit it from there consistently.

More video of his jumpshot, please note the bad mechanics at the fifteen second mark.

Lastly, Coach Brad Stevens said this
"I think that he will improve his shot and get right to work on that. But I think handling and passing, I think he'll be able to do that and continue to get better at it."

This ought to tell you that the Celtics have prioritized his shot as an area of improvement.
You're the one who needs to prove your point. Perhaps you should get out more? I can post a lot more stuff if you want more proof.
Look I want him to do well, I think he has a ton of defensive potential.
Man your reaching. He has an awkward release, but it's not broken like Lonzo's or Fultz's. He didn't start playing till later in life compared to most of the picks, and he's been the defensive guy and was only asked to do that job. But he looks like he has a nice touch around the rim which is good for getting offensive rebounds.
His shot is a bit awkward, but who knows how much time people have spent with him on that. It's not Lonzo or Fultz broken, so there is a shot that he can be an average to decent shooter. And coming to Boston, he doesn't have to worry about scoring right away, he has a couple years to learn under Horford(who has an awkward shot), who dodn't start shooting how side the three point line till a few years ago.
I also love what he was saying. He knows who he is, a rebounding,defensive, shot blocking big. He's not going to go out side what he can do until he can do it, unlike some bigs who things they can shoot threes when they really can't.
I still don't know why people are crapping on this pick, he was a potential lotto pick last year. Unless some one bigger fell, we were going to get a player that was a bit raw and rough. If there is a diamond in this, who knows. If in a couple years this cat can score 10ppg get 10rpg and 2 bpg, and can hit that KG elbow bunny, not threes, just that 18-20 footer, thats a huge steal at 27.
