I find it funny to see Rubio, MKG and AFA mentioned in a post like that.  All of those guys were heavily scrutinized as high lotto picks and eventually drafted as high lotto picks (AFA was 8, maybe not technically "high"), and the biggest knock on all of them was no J, no offensive versatility.  And look what's happened to them now.  Still no J, no jumpshot at all.  
 
It's almost like teams think "well if we just draft this guy, with his crazy athleticism and size, if we can just develop a jumpshot in him, he'll be so great".  Not the way it works.  Being able to have a good jumpshot is something that is natural, it's part of the DNA.  It's like playing the guitar.  You're either born with the propensity to be good at it, or your not.  It's not like learning a second language where you can just smash your face in it and eventually get it.
 
So the bench coach does not turn Al-Farouq Aminu into Clyde Drexler by working on his jumper.  I find it hilarious that he's so bad so far into his career.

You can develop a good jump shot.

Its hard to overcome a hitch and poor mechanics, however.

There are guys around here who think shooting will just automatically improve once they enter the NBA, like it's NBA2K or something lol
