All This doesn't matter without a quality shooting coach

PrintHas anyone noticed that we need a quality shooting coach? If Jason Kidd learned how to shoot better, how come Andre didn't get better? Why can't Nicolas Batum shoot better in the clutch? What happened to Rudy? It seems other higher profile teams has shooting coaches that get results. Do we get trainers that just know how to be nice to Paul Allen? Can it be that when good shooters come to Portland they actually get worse? Comments please!

Andre did get better
shot 40% in the playoffs. But thats the past. Regarding Batum, thats simply confidence & being put in that situation consistently. In other words, give him time. With that said I’d welcome a new shooting coach. I like Mark Price.
Get it done... Paul.
Batum also has problems
with the release of his shot. He tends to truncate the follow-through. The other thing I’ve noticed is that the starting point of his shot is very erratic. A good shooting coach would iron out both of those issues quickly.
Sucking at darts is not a super power
Didn't the blazers fire their shooting choach before this last season?
Or am I thinking of something else?
I thought Rudy would be the perfect 6th man. Come back Ruuudy!

Absolutely I have noticed this....
Why do you think Dallas is making a gamble on Rudy? Do you really think the move says, “we want exactly who he has been!” No, Rudy is going to learn the “V” technique and shoot better than he ever has in a Blazers uniform.
We need a new coach, shooting coach and Training Staff. End of story. Jury is still out on Buchanon.
