Idk why he’s throwing his hands up like that, he’s one of the worst 3 point shooters in the league when accounting for volume lol

[–] Dudedude88@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wow I thought he shot at least 33%. Damn he only shot 29% last year. My view of him has changed.

[–] Smekledorf1996@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s just preseason, dude probably wants to get up more than 4 shots

[–] Solid-Confidence-966@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

He only got up 4 shots because that’s what his skillset allows him to do. He’s limited as a shot creator, so most of his shots are spot up which he’s not good at making.

Unless you're a legitimate star , no reason to pass up an open shot for a bad one.

When Kuzma isn’t on the floor, offensively at least, Poole is our “legitimate star” lol

[–] spicyfartz4yaman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That's also true lol

[–] Smekledorf1996@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He’s not even trying to make his shot in this video, he’s wide open

I’m not saying Deni is great, but we’re talking about a preseason game where guys try to develop or fine tune their skills

[–] Solid-Confidence-966@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, and on this play it was Poole’s turn to do that.

[–] electricHats75@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So when he’s open. Hit him. Or lose another locker room while leading a team to 30 wins

[–] CommercialSpecial835@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You actually think NBA players are thinking about stats like that in game bro.

[–] -qft@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You do realize LeBron, MJ, KD, and much lesser players look at the stat sheet constantly throughout the game

They will literally go to the scorekeeper to argue sometimes

[–] CommercialSpecial835@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bro literally any player will be upset about being passed up when they are wide open. Stop the cap

[–] knockoutking321@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah I’m sure the pro nba players thinking “My three point percentage is below league average I shouldn’t expect the ball when I’m open cuz I’ll probably miss it 🤓”

[–] Murky_Low6667@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Really? That’s hilarious then
