Who else in league history can do this with no jumper. He won't get any credit on here though. It's more entertaining to make fun of him I guess. :dunno::smh:

People forget magic couldn’t shoot to save his life. Ben will be alright was listening to sonny hill a week or so ago and he was pointing out how Ben has made little subtle adjustments to his free throws. His jumper is next

At this point it's just weird. He doesn't need to shoot jumpers yet but it's weird that he practices jumpers in practice, but doesn't shoot them in games.
I hear you there was a point down the stretch where he picked up his dribble and thought he was going to pass it to jj but they took that away other points would have just pulled up and took the short j it ended up in a shot clock violation for the Sixers

You know what, I forgot all about that game the other day when he had a chance to get open in he final seconds to shoot a shot when he passed the ball to Jimmy.

Dude didn't even look to get open to shoot.

Yeah I heard Sonny told him you have to be more aggressive and shoot more often. He's doing that and seeing results.

Yes he does, because teams will just back up in a zone and clog the lane or stay three feet for him in the playoffs.

Especially when the only other shooter the have is Reddook.

Shamet can shoot off the bench but other than him you are correct and all Brett brown wants them to do is shoot threes
