20 foot jumpers dont usually make highlight reels so you cant necessarily tell from a video like this but you're right in this case

You know who else doesn't have a jumpshot? Rondo, John Wall, Tyreke Evans, and Russell Westbrick is so streaky with his. Hell even Tony Parker doesn't have a jumpshot outside of 8 feet from the hoop and how often does Chris Paul pull up for an 18 footer? Plus he has a lot of time to learn to shoot and on a highlight reel they don't usually show somebody pulling up for a nice 15 footer.

when you cross someone and step back and hit a fadeaway from 20 feet yes they do, and considering there was only one of those shots in the entire 4 minute video and his form while shooting that jumper i have concluded he has no jumper to speak of, or they would have at least shown him bombing some threes

uh tony parker has a great jumpshot, so does tyreke evans, and westbrook has a decent jumper, also paul pulls up for 18 footers all the fucking time, so yes if this dude was a foot taller he could play like rondo but that the point, hes 5'6 with no jumper so hes going nowhere

Let me stop you right there. I'm a kings fan and Evans has an absolutely terrible jumper. It has gotten better but it is still terrible. Have you ever seen a shot chart from Parker? There are no made baskets outside of 10 feet and sure when Westbrook is hitting it's good but it never looks good and when it's bad it's awful

And i'm not saying the kid will make the NBA but a young kid in highschool has time to learn how to shoot and there are plenty of people who have made it to the NBA on their ability to get to the basket because believe me the Kings did not draft Evans for his ability to shoot the ball
