A 6'6" Jrue Holiday is a damn good player though :ld:



His ceiling is completely dependent on whether or not he can fix his shot, those UCLA shooting numbers were clearly inflated by the ball they used.

Summer league...

He's obviously having confidence issues but give it time.

They sh!tted on Ingram last year too

That Wilson Ball is real easy to shoot with. We play pick up games with that ball all the time. It’s so soft and got a ton of grip

He HAS to fix his shot. I hope for his sake Luke keeps him in the starting lineup to not embarrass him and also completely kill his confidence.

it’s clear he has to take a Rajon Rondo approach on offense and don’t even bother shooting from the outside. I would say try a Ben Simmons approach driving, but he doesn’t have the strength and would suck for him to potentially get hurt trying to flex on someone.

Ricky Rubio couldn’t shoot. It wasn’t THIS bad, but it’s something you can work on over the years.

Nah, the thing is there were some stats that showed his shooting numbers were inflated big time because of the ball UCLA used during home games, it had more grip which helped him get more rotation on his shot and a better feel of the ball. On the road he was a 34% three point shooter when the opponents used a less grippy ball that is more in line with the NBA spalding.


"Ball might've experienced that adjustment this season: He's played 26 games with a Wilson ball (17 games at home, six games at a neutral site, and three on the road). In those matches, he shot 43.6 percent on 133 3-point attempts. In seven games playing with a Nike ball (all road games), he shot only 34.1 percent on 44 attempts."

He's gonna have to change his shot during the summer.
