Thought this was really cool to see. If he could create his own shot, I could see 6th man of the year in the near future.
He messed up his dribble twice! WHAT A BUM! We're paying him WHAT? TRADE HIM! What a horrible player!!!! :MARIS61:
He already looks like he's more comfortable with that when compared to Wes. Just needs to work on finishing in traffic, or he'll be relegated to that Travis Outlaw 1 dribble pullup as his primary offense (that's not off a catch).
It looks also trying to work on his back to the basket. Rest of it was what he did last year. Working on his handle will help get to his spot.
You know who he reminds me of? Rip Hamilton. Run him off those curls and have him own that midrange. He's overpaid yes, but he's gonna be such a valuable offensive threat for us.
This is what you love to see in a guy who just got paid and is young. He's only 23...great work ethic.
Going through numbers, AC's 3rd season is VERY similar to JJ Redick's 5th season. JJ was a bench player until he got to LA, but he was getting consistently between 25-30 mpg every season after he broke into the rotation. His rise to one of the premier shooters and guards now has been a direct function of his increased efficiency. He went from a 39-41 % 3pt shooter to now a nearly 48% 3pt shooter in his 10th year. Similar to AC, JJ didn't play much his first few seasons. But if AC can become what JJ has become with 14-16 ppg on amazing efficiency on a team where he won't get too much volume, I think AC will be worth that contract.
