Philly bouls, Trust the Process
todays game is different tho , guy is scared to shoot , can't be a number 1 or 2 scoring option
Dude's averaging 17ppg without any semblance of a jumper or the ability to make FTs on 54%FG, if he gets up to 70-75% on FTs he'd average 20ppg this year already.

He can get buckets without one, and any progress on his jump shot will result in exponential growth to his offensive game. He doesn't ever have to become a good shooter, if he gets to the point to where you have to guard him out there he's a perennial MVP candidate.

And they're all heaves at the end of a quarter :umad:
He knows taking them right now isn't going to help the team, he's not finna be Josh Smith out here gunnin up 3s when we all just want him going to the rack :heh:

He's working on his 3s, he'll take them when he's ready and when he thinks they'll actually contribute to winning games :manny:

Playoffs are certainly a different animal, but I think in some ways it will reward Ben too. His ability post up and cut will be very valuable, and he causes so many mismatches on the court. Being able to exploit a mismatch for an entire series is a huge advantage. His ability to play off of Joel will be huge too.

He's special, definitely a potential all-timer. I think he'll eventually have a respectable jumper, it took LeBron years before he eventually did.
LeBron was always streaky and a tough shot maker.
