I think eventually he'll develop a corner three and etc. But off the dribble pull up at higher % is big jump to make and he'll need to make that jump in order to be franchise player or one of core guys

There was a podcast interview just after the draft and Thorpe said "... it's broken'. Have to dig it up.

Precious' jumper has a nice sit-back action (think T-ross), reminiscent of Michael Beasley - impressive mechanics for a big man but we'll see if there's any accuracy there.
Another comparison is young Amir Johnson. I can't find his finding reach but it was also probably around 9 feet as well. Or, a bigger JYD for old times' sake.

Pretty sure he said it was NOT broken and kind of mocked the people that said it was broken. He also commented on how with such large hands, you can't really shoot the same way as somebody with smaller hands. So a coach showing you how to shoot when you are 10 may not have shown you form that is appropriate to you at 20 when you've grown.

So Nick Nurse said it wasn’t broken, but keep
in mind Barnes did a ton of work after the season.
Thorpe was saying it was broken, and Barnes could fix it with practice. I think he was basing his observations off the college season. He was talking more about players with big hands having trouble shooting.

Masai and Bobby seem to be huge fans of this kid. Was the only piece they cared about getting for Lowry it seems. Big things expected.

I never understood the hate on this return. Precious was an underrated 20th overall 1st round pick from 1 year ago. He's definitely the equivalent of getting a mid first round pick in return for Lowry. He's already shown potential and won't be a bust. Plus we got Dragic who is a solid veteran PG/SG, not as good as Lowry but still very good.
