Yeahhh, I don't care how good his shot looks if it doesn't go in. (See Devin Booker)

[Split T]

I’ll just take him not playing scared around the rim first. He has been a bit better at that lately.

I wouldn’t look twice at shooting motion if he can hit like Reggie Miller but if he is missing anything outside of 8 feet and his jump shot has this weird off hand motion and takes forever to launch then I’m glad he’s at least working on the low hanging fruits. And to Split’s point he’s taking more floaters in the lane now in addition to straight up dunks and oops.

You can game plan around the lack of a 3pt shot to some extent. Not much you can do with a 50% FT shooter, unfortunately.

Put a wing on Oso and switch any action. But that’s probably a win for us if we are forcing teams to put good defenders on Oso.

Oso is slowly moving a little more towards Draymond for me. Not as strong, but his defense has been very good and he’s doing a lot in the playmaking department. Not sure he’ll ever even have a Draymond level shot, but he is a more explosive finisher if he can get passed being afraid of getting fouled.

His free throw motion is much much smoother now. Here’s hoping that we extend him for four years and *then* he starts developing a respectable outside shot.

Exactly my thoughts.
