When your 7’4″ center is your best 3pt option by a large margin, that’s a problem. Good on Wemby but holy heck boys.
And they continue to play the 3pt shot as a primary option on offence and their last 15 games is the result. They should be using Wemby gravity to pull the 4-5 away from the rim and let the boys drive and get the fouls or the +1. It’s very frustrating to watch.
I firmly believe in Castles shot. It will get better. If he can shoot 34 or 35 the fit with him and Harper won’t be as bad when Harper takes over lead guard duties permanently.
I love Barnes as a human and he’s great for a team but man, it’s getting detrimental on the court. He’s just doing cardio at this point if his 3s aren’t falling.
Waters was only signed for shooting.
We always knew shooting was our biggest weakness this year.
For 10 years we’ve been looking for shooting.
Hoping Spurs go on an absolute heater to end the season. If thay does ww may get the chip this year lol
Mr 100% is Mr 25%. We need more shooters but I trust the Spurs org to do what they do. They will find the right pieces. Even with mediocre shooting we’re second in the west. Go Spurs Go!
holy cow i thought wemby keep chucking threes on critical times is bad
when its the right choice
That Castle percentage tho…
I am really surprised we don’t use Wemby as a facilitator more and run more off ball action. He could be getting double digit assists if we didn’t have the rest of the team just hanging out at the 3pt line.
Castle’s shot has great form. He has plenty of room to improve but people who are getting upset about his shot are being far too impatient. Castle taking three or so totally open looks each game is a great thing – and landing one, occasionally two of those looks, is enough to pull defenders out of the paint to give him the options he is better at.
I firmly believe at least part of this is due to Vassell’s injury. He has a gravity that allows a lot of the offense to happen. Absent that, defenses can sag off the three point line and stack the paint which makes our guards lives harder. I think these numbers reflect that.
This is my opinion on just this team, not league view.
For this team, it would be more beneficial if castle worked on his midrange game and became deadly like DeRozan. Just abandon the 3. With how good we are defensively when Wemby is on the court, scoring 2 instead of bricking 3’s will help this team more.
Too many times do we solely rely on chucking 3’s when a high percentage 2 would be the better option.
The first half of the month, we as a team shot horrible, so it was expected.
Even the higher % guys feel like a crapshoot from game to game. Champs is the only guy where a wide open three feels like a layup
I’m surprised Vassel isn’t up here. Does he not catch and shoot enough?
if Olynyk cant make 3s when hes on the floor he needs to be traded ASAP. HE’s low usage but he should be filling a Matt Bonner type of role and gives us literally nothing if he isnt making shots.
Expiring contract, we should be able to move him for a more useful player.
If the Bucks go into a fire sale, Olynyk could be a 1 for 1 swap for Bobby Portis.
Barnes + Kelly + Hawks 2027 1st and a spurs 2029 1st (likely not lottery) for MPJ PLEASE
