I'm confident that Plumlee's jumper is money now. The fact that he improved his foul shooting *during* the season is a sign that he's willing to learn and improve.
Well maybe he's thinking about having an episode of Flip This Center? IDK what we'd have to do to keep the Duke Blue Blood.
Anyone shocked about the pain Dame was playing through in the playoffs with his plantar fasciitis? He was a warrior during the playoffs and I don't remember anything ever being said about it.
I just hope all our returning guys make the scouting reports useless this season and nobody will see it coming..element of surprise..I think Mo is the biggest leap and gets my vote because I'm really not looking for Plumlee to shoot a lot of jumpers game to game anyway but if Mo hits 3s at a high clip..that's a game changer
Plumlee will only become a good mid-range shooter if he gets rid or lessens the hitch in his jump shot. The set point is fine, right in front of his head, but from there it's bad. He brings his elbow up, but fails to extend his forearm at the same time. It's two motions, where he brings his elbow up, then flings his wrist and forearm forward. All he needs to do is extend his forearm forward while his elbow raises, and he'd be a solid shooter. He can pass, and usually bigs that can pass have good touch and feel for the basketball. I believe Plumlee has this, and the only thing getting in his way has been his dreadful shooting form.
Casey has all of his interviews on his sound cloud. Haven't listened to any of them yet. https://soundcloud.com/caseyholdahl Spoiler: Dame Spoiler: CJ Spoiler: Meyers Spoiler: Crabbe Spoiler: Vonleh Spoiler: Mase Spoiler: Chief Spoiler: Festus Spoiler: Turner Spoiler: Harkless Spoiler: Davis Spoiler: Olshey Spoiler: Stotts

I didn't read anyone saying he would be or become a good or great shooter, but just develop a jump shot from top of the key. To me these are big differences. a good shooter can shoot form anywhere and I don't think anyone is expecting Plums to do that... or even WANTING him to do that. I completely disagree with this because he proves you wrong with his FT's from last year alone. In one season he made a huge jump.

Doesn't camp open today? I haven't seen any media reports about how the players are actually looking.
Sounds like Meyers is full contact, ahead of his OCT 8th return date. Also sounds like he is looking great on both ends of the court.
