    I aint shook lol

    The way he started posting up last year it seemed clear that's what he worked on the most.
    I get the feeling he did work on his 3point shot but not as much as other aspects he knows he can excel at. Only bringing up the reference to working on his 3's in order to keep people happy who were criticizing.

    There was only one real quote you gave me, the rest was all RR people talking.

    Either way, I truly believe he will be better next season from 3pt range. Call me an asshole when he isn't.

      There are four quotes from DD in this post from 2010, 2011, and 2012 and none of them are RR posters:
      http://www.raptorsrepublic.com/forum...l=1#post221236


      Some of the quotes in there are utterly head scratching when you consider what has happened since they were made. This one stands out in particular:

      “Whenever I am open, I intend to take (the three-pointer), but now I am trying to be more aggressive and not settle for as many jump shots,” said DeRozan. “I am trying to be more aggressive and get to the foul line.”
      He took 1231 shots of which 830 were jumpers and 449 were the worst shot in the game (16-24ft).

      His 449 16-24ft attempts was 2nd in the entire league and he was 2nd in makes at 186. However that was 139th in percentage at 41.4%.

        And wouldn't the results of that be something to see.

          Fair enough. From my perspective, I think there's about a 5% chance he shots OVER 35.0% (Huge improvement) from three on the season, a 15% chance that he gets to 33.0-34.9% (significant improvement) and about a 25% he shots 30%-32.9% (modest improvement) for the whole season. So that leaves 55% chance he doesn't improve at all.

          I would LOVE to see him improve his 3pt shot. Especially from the corners.

                I recall a post game interview from the end of the season where one of the reporters asked Demar if he's feeling comfortable with his 3point shot and he said "I get frustrated with myself because mentally I just don't shoot them" stating that's one thing he's got to get him mind around, stating it's just habit for him to try and get closer to the rim.

                      The interview I speak of is still on www.nba.com/raptors/. Just gotta go back a few pages in the videos section.

                          hahaha, I appreciate you digging it up.

                          It seems like derozan views his problem with 3 point shooting as a mental thing, in the past he's attributed improvements (which turned out to be temporary) to being more comfortable, as opposed to changing mechanics. Not sure whether this means that he is more or less likely to figure it out.
