Be able to hire someone with that money I've never seen a star player be so mediocre at shooting who wasn't a PF/C

You've never seen a 7 footer be bad at shooting?

A star player who wasn't a power forward or Center. No I haven't.

He plays a LOT of PF or C on defense but is seen as a perimeter player bc of his elite speed and ball handling skills for his size. If he didn't have that - he'd playing mostly inside.

Im sorry I don't understand what you are asking or saying. There are plenty of tall NBA players that were/are decent shooters in the NBA. Freak is the first "star" player that I can recall that is a mediocre shooter that didn't play in the paint primarily. He's not a typical PF or C he's often out on the perimeter. He's a point forward he should be able to shoot the ball. For the last 2 years the Bucks have been bounced in the playoffs because teams packed the paint and forced him to shoot air ball after air ball. Just because he's 7 foot doesn't mean he can't develop an average shot.

Sorry, this type of foul needs to stop being called. Tatum goes out of his way to make contact with Simmons, this is not a normal shooting motion. The league needs to work on getting rid of this foul hunting. pic.twitter.com/KoMCX9h8XT

James Harden on what he was doing in Atlanta in Vegas during training camp:

"I was just training."

For what?

"The start of the NBA season."

Why in Atlanta and Vegas instead of Houston?

"My personal trainers."
