Tyreke still has a broke ass jumper
I think we have to give credit where it is due.

During his last season in Sacramento and his first season in NOLA he shot 29.3% on long twos combined over those two seasons. This past offseason he and Pels assistant coach Fred Vinson stayed in New Orleans all summer and worked on his shot, completely changing everything from how he used his legs in his shot to his release.

Now I would still rather he attack the rim when he has the ball, but throughout the season I began to have some confidence in his ability to knock down long twos. One thing the Pels love to do with him is run him off a down screen around the baseline and get him the ball somewhere between the high post and three point line and he works from there.

This season he improved his shot nearly 10%, he went from 29.3% on those shots to 39.1% which is about average for the league. So I don't think his shot is broken, is it good or great? No. But I wouldn't say it's broken, I don't cringe if he takes that shot (unless it's with like 18 seconds left on the shot clock).

His form is still broken. 38% mid range is still terribly inefficient. Come on you know this.

Im going out on a limb here. Anthony Davis will be MVP next year. I voted for AD.

His form is fine, and like I said he was 39% this season, which is the league average. So maybe that isn't excellent, but average is average.

I agree with CC, Davis needs a better #2 or supporting cast.

I would love to see Wes Matthews on that team instead of Eric Gordon.

Eric Gordon needs replacement but that's it.

I mean we have Jrue, Reke, Ryno, and Asik. Those guys are his "sidekick." Instead of having one elite player we have 4 (5 when we replace Gordon) good to very good players.

You know who my "dream" guy would be? Danny Green. Vet, shooter, great defender, he's everything this team needs.

How much of him did you watch this year? They were all off season on his jumper and completely reworked his form. He has good balance on his shot, a good width down low, He uses his legs well, his elbows are a good angle, etc. it isn't perfect, but who is? Tyreke is fine.
