His shot does look a lot more fluid here. Look, I’m willing to give the dude a chance. I’m not about to shit on a 19-year old who likely has another 15 years ahead of him in his career. But I’ve seen videos of Dwight Howard looking absolutely WET from 3 in practice when no one is guarding him. I don’t think these videos mean that much. Just my couple of pennies.

Not that these videos ever mean anything, but his shot looks a lot higher than it did in college. Hoping this translates to preseason.

[ESPN] #1 overall pick outclassed by 3pt sharpshooter Anthony Black in their most recent workout tapes – Did the Spurs pick the wrong player?
> The biggest room for improvement is his shooting accuracy, and he knows that. He logged 18,200 shots (in addition to untold more that weren’t tracked) in Santa Barbara, California, over a five-week period after the season and prior to his WME Pro Day in mid-May.
I’m not expecting a crazy jump in one off season, but the kid is clearly dedicated to putting in work to better himself. Everything takes time!

Looks good. I hope him and Jett get all the burn they can handle in summer league..
Also, this mother trucker is BIG

The quickest path for Black to being a starter is fine tuning his jump shot. Easier said than done but this doesn’t look like a broken shot to me at least.

He’s a better shooter than Ben Simmons already

That release looks a hell of a lot faster than his highlight reels
