NBA Trade Rumors |

Most anyone in the NBA can hit 26% of their 3's.

Apparently Drummond isn't "most anyone"...he's shooting 11% career on 3s.  So there's that.

Doubt Drummond is working on his 3's like Powell has the past 4 years.

That's a pretty weak point to make, don't you think, Go?  That's kind of the "give up" of all points, right there. 

Don't blame you, even as hard headed as I am, I could not defend Andre Drummond's 3 point shooting. 

Oh, I was defending Drummond's 3 point shooting? I thought I was shooting down your point about "and has proven he can hit a few now and then". Which is what I quoted and responded to. If you think just because Powell will take the shot that makes him better than Drummond and draws more attention than him, I have some news for you. Nobody is closing out on either or paying attention of Powell or Drummond when they are out on the 3 point line. 

Also, Drummond is a career .1 3 per game shooter, sounds like a few buzzer beaters here and there to me. I wonder if given the same 4 years to develop a 3 point shot if Drummond would be better or worse than DP is currently. I'd venture to guess he doesn't do much practicing on them at all to this point. Seems like the weak point is not coming from my direction. 

Actually, your opinion was that "most" ANYONE in the NBA can hit 26% of their 3 pointers to support Drummond over Powell, implying that Drummond can shoot threes as good as Dwight Powell.

I showed you the fact that Drummond is shooting 11-12% from 3 for his career.

That was pretty much the only point I addressed there, and the weak "opinion" was yours....now you just trying to distract from the fact.

I'll add an opinion, that's based in fact, though.  I sincerely doubt if you take a guy who shot ONLY TWO 3 pointers in college, and has shot ONLY 86 3 pointers total in college and pros, and is currently 0-18 on this season...there's probably a good reason he hasn't worked on it before now.

This Season
Drummond  0-18
Powell         9-34
Both dreadful, but Drummond is below Simmons level and probably is like Boban...and Boban is a better 3 point shooter.
