Good friend of the pod Maxwell Baumbach (@BaumBoards) is back for a DYNAMITE answer on shooting projection. We dive into the intricacies of poor shooter pre-draft: what indicators go into making them a solid shooter, what parts of the mechanics are projectable, what touch means, and more. By the end, we discuss several 2023 prospects who are seen as poor shooters, such as Amen Thompson, Anthony Black, and Leonard Miller.
