Yea he was awful. As a Knicks fan I had the feeling he'll be on the list lol. The reason he was better last season was he was making those shots. I always thought those were horrible shots even when he was making and it'll be an issue later
it's honestly unbelievable how Desmond Bane lead the league in above the break three-point percentage while shooting at volume and on more than just strictly catch-and-shoot. all while growing into becoming a better passer and an already above average defender. and he's doing this as a 2nd year player who was drafted 30th overall. an absolute dream scenario for the grizzlies.
Grizzlies record was better without Ja, that is a fact, and the credit goes mainly to Bane and JJJ but more so to Desmond Bane, guy just shoots the lights out even on midrange.
@@hepersopon4459 Nah, he just played viewer games then his father. But he is clearly a better shooter. His father had one year with a TS% over .60 (in 16 seasons). Seth, since he plays significant minutes (last 6 seasons), had one year below .60... and that was .595.
When it comes to deep threes Tre is definitely the third player you think of after Dame and Steph.. he was actually shooting those at Oklahoma too before he came into the league.
@@nickjones5495 well yeah for sure. I’m just saying the pioneers are the ones who led the way in the nba a little under a decade ago. Trae young is no doubt up there with them in terms of prolific deep shooting currently
I'm surprised by how efficient Gobert is in the paint considering how he tends to fumble the ball. But I guess that fumbling before you put up a shot attempt doesn't count.
As a knicks fan, it's scary to see how bad rj shot this season. He still avg 20 points at 21. I think that if he could get up to 44-38-75 next season, he will make an allstar team.
@@HH__09 there's upside, even though he's not efficient, I'm liking RJ is looking to be aggressive and has that competitive attitude. He'll improve with time. Remember Steph wasn't MVP Steph until 6 years into his career.
@@addmandgaming7858 exactly, he just has a target on his back for every single miss. I’ve never seen any one player receive such hate for no actual reason
I think the increase in efficiency of shots here is revaluator of the decline of defense intensity and hardness throughout the recent years, just look at thoses middies % It usually is around 48 to 50 but the restrictions in defense are shining the offense.
Seth is having an efficient season. Better than bigger bro. Surprised no Russ or AD? I thought Russ would be worst around the paint. DeRozan really is Jordan with hair. Not an insult. Kobe, KD, and Kawhi are the same way.
KD and Kawhi are great midrange shooters but Demar, Kobe and Jordan have a package that no many have. One underrated person on the middy was Brandon Roy.
shows how the media can manipulate how the majority of fans view a player. Russ did not have a good season for his standards but in no way did he have a bad season at all. if the name Russell Westbrook wasn't attached, nobody would be saying this was a bad year, they honestly would be saying that this was a good season (for most players in the league) he averaged 19 7 and 7 shooting 44.4% from the field, that is good and would be a career year for a majority of players in the league )
nah dame started around the same time as curry was pulling that. So technically he as A pioneer, but THE true pioneer is Steph, he started it all. I just wouldn't call Dame a result of curry though
RJ worst finisher in the paint, Julius Randle worst shooter in the midrange - this is 90% of the Knicks offense this year ... And fans want to give RJ the max and put him and Julius next to each other for by far the absolute worst duo in the league 🤣😂
@@HooodClassicsTV we should be smart and trade him while he still has value. He's going to be exposed more as time goes on and GMs won't be able to get fleeced.

Honestly, this made me think on how underrated Seth Curry is. He leads 2 catergories in this and has a really good shot.
And he's still arguably the 3rd best shooter in the family (historically)

You need a 35% to 40%
I said people been sleeping on Seth Curry’s mid-range game, but people just been sleeping on him in general which is a shame.
Curse of having a popular brother lol
If he wasn’t a curry he’d be a lot more respected
If he didn’t have brother that way was better than him, people would of been noticing more

Only scoring like 2 ways at the basket when you over 7 feet is a good way to keep a high percentage
Averages over 15 points a game. If it ain't broke don't fix it
@@griffest4852 playoffs this year showed that it is indeed broke
And that's all he does lmao. Just catch lobs lmfao. Can handle NOTHING outside of the restricted area let alone the paint.

Desmond Bane is possibly one of the most badass sounding names I've ever seen. And he's backing it up
THIS! Is the content we’ve been waiting for.
I like how DeMar DeRozan doesn't take many 3's instead sticking to the mid range
The one quality vid per year
Great content ESPN! Please do more of this stuff.
You could make a legit team
1. Seth. Curry
2. D. Bane
3. K. Middleton
4. K. Durant
5. R. Gobert
Look at Curry man, so inspirational
Been waiting for this
im just happy seth curry was seen as one of the most efficient cause he is really good just looked down upon because hes stephs brother
3:50 I loveeee that "can't guard me " edit with Mj and Kobe 🖤❤️x💛💜
As a Knicks fan, this was hard to watch. Ugh.
There is no upside to this team bro I swear. Being a Knicks fan is the hardest thing on the planet

They should do the corner 3s individually instead of doing both as 1 category
love to see seth get some love, he's underrated imo
Desmond Bane's fly by pump fake is so good
