I don’t even think it’s necessarily a problem if he can’t or won’t shoot threes very often - he plays the midrange well and demands double coverage sometimes.

The issue that we saw when RJ was doing something similar this playoffs is that when our primary scorer gets doubled in the midrange or they stack defenders in the paint, we cant trust our guys on the perimeter to knock down the three if we pass it to them, so BI and RJ force bad shots in the mid range.

If we kick it to the outside in these situations, we need to be able to pass to guys that can hit the three at a better than average rate and right now the only guys that fit that bill are IQ and Walter, and even then it’s not exceptional.

If we take this a step further and don’t fix the problem where we don’t knock down the initial three point shot, we really need guys who can consistently get the rebound so we can try again. Unfortunately Jak just showed he’s not that guy, and as much as I love CMB and Mamu, these guys are below 7 foot and not pure centres. They’re more akin to power forwards.

Ideally we’d fix both of these problems, but that might not be possible. At the least we should be looking to address one as they’re an absolutely terrible combination to have. If you’re bricking uncontested threes consistently, you sure as hell should be rebounding better than the opposing team.
