Put most in an open gym and they will hit an impressive amount of open threes in a row. I remember as a kid seeing Sean Rooks (Former Mav) and he was making threes left handed at a practice I was at.This.
And for Centers it's even harder to be allowed to shoot from outside, as they are usually tasked to get close to the basket. Thus, to justify changing the responsibilities of the other players on the court, they have to be able to shoot a somewhat respectable percentage against real game defense. Open 3s is just not the same as contested ones.
But that said, I can't believe the coaches don't try to get him there, as he seems to have the potential. And if he does...watch out!
