Take Mitchell Smith for example. If he could make 10-15 footers consistently he'd be much more valuable than he is taking 2.3 three pointers a game and making 0.7 of them. But he was told and allowed to try to be a three point shooter because he would be unstoppable if he could do that. And here he is as a college junior playing 22 mins a game on a team that desperately needs scoring and he's averaging 5 points a game.

MJ's record for most points in a NBA playoff game (63) - Ace AU - 4/20 08:20:33
     Celtics should have had Ron Jones - Tigeraja MU - 4/20 21:21:53
     He wasn't good from 3. He had one good year. He had... - scif MU - 4/20 21:10:57
          the 3 didn’t matter that much back then. - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 21:27:10
               I loved MJ. But the OP said he became one of the best from 3 - scif MU - 4/20 23:29:37
                    I think it’s actually easier to get to the rim now - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 23:42:02
     and lost the game - Shu MU - 4/20 12:59:30
          LOL. To one of the greatest teams of all-time. Yeesh. (nm) - mizzou john MU - 4/21 09:30:00
     If he was a high school/AAU player today the coach would - alstl MU - 4/20 10:28:50
          Not true - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 10:37:19
               Distinction without a difference(nm) - alstl MU - 4/20 11:10:48
               That's part of what makes them "really good players". All - sprintcar STL - 4/20 10:46:33
                    Agree, good players still know how to play bb - FIJItiger MU - 4/20 11:15:27
                         here’s the difference for college now compared to the past - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:19:50
                              Disagree. The main difference is the stark decline - FIJItiger MU - 4/20 11:24:57
                                   and that because players aren’t staying in college - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:27:53
                                        The Porter's aside, the last Tiger to leave early was - FIJItiger MU - 4/20 11:33:24
                                             That’s the point though - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 13:45:46
                                                  Mitch is Mark Sparks. Tall,thin,limited skill-set. Sparks - Sigma MU - 4/20 13:51:57
                    its One of the differences in how players are taught - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 10:56:03
                         basketball sucks relative to prior years, kids are all - 90Tiger STL - 4/20 18:47:22
                              College hoops isn’t as good - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 18:49:25
                                   men used to play college basketball - Jeff85 MU - 4/20 19:27:19
                                        pretty much. - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 19:35:40
                         And it's part of the degradation of basketball in general. - sprintcar STL - 4/20 11:14:13
                              Good example - now phat enough to battle opposing bigs - alstl MU - 4/20 13:06:43
                              Mitch actually shoots a good percentage from the midrange. - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:15:21
                                   if Mitch shoots a good percentage from midrange why is he - sprintcar STL - 4/20 11:24:35
                                        Do you really want Mitch shooting more? - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:29:59
                                             He shot 85.4% from 15 feet as a free throw shooter - FIJItiger MU - 4/20 11:35:32
                                             Not at 35%. But he's 6'10" and moves decent for his size. - sprintcar STL - 4/20 11:35:14
                                                  So you want to run your offense with the design - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:38:54
                                                       So scoring more points is not your idea of how to win. OK.(nm) - sprintcar STL - 4/20 11:45:58
                                                            Mitch is a role player at best - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:48:25
                                                                 Dude you're way off the rails here. I never said the - sprintcar STL - 4/20 11:53:29
                                                                      Numbers don’t match that point of view - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:56:06
                                                                           Of course they don't. You know why? Because players don't - sprintcar STL - 4/20 12:03:27
                                                                                Think about it like this - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 12:13:24
                                                                                     Yes sir. That 0.5 shots that he's made per game since he's - sprintcar STL - 4/20 13:04:25
                                                                                          Really you want your best players taking the most shots - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 13:08:21
                                                                                               My point is going way over your head. Nevermind. (nm) - sprintcar STL - 4/20 14:35:52
                                                       can't play with lineups that feature - FIJItiger MU - 4/20 11:45:20
                                                            Depends on the version of Watson you get - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:47:06
                                                                 The one that stands in the corner and shoots all the - FIJItiger MU - 4/20 12:26:31
                                                                      The one that can’t make 3’s - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 12:29:02
     RE: MJ's record for most points in a NBA playoff game (63) - War Horse MU - 4/20 08:54:26
          I remember a comment from him about a competitor being - sprintcar STL - 4/20 09:19:07
          he never quit working and improving his game - Ace AU - 4/20 09:04:09
               That is why I rank him ahead of Lebron - MoGold MU - 4/20 11:18:44
                    You don’t think Lebron - wu-tangtiger MU - 4/20 11:21:13
                         He does, but not like Mike. - alwaysright MU - 4/20 16:43:14
               Yes, this is what made him great - kcmizzou99 MU - 4/20 09:34:29
