Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 3580833, member: 271"] Wes has always fascinated me. I’ve talked about it before. My parents were on campus at that time and my dad always mentioned Wes when I was a kid. I was a shooter and I worked at it for hours a day. Wes was a legend in my mind and as I learned to shoot with deeper and deeper range I’d ask my dad if I was getting to “Wes range” yet. One thing people who haven’t played the game really competitively don’t understand is that a great jump shot doesn’t allow you to play at any level. The athletes of today will shut down shooters. There is a lot more to it than a deadly jump shot. Steph Curry gets shots with a lot of craftiness and ball handling that few people have. I was a good shooter but a D1 athlete would neutralize me most of the time. I’d guess Wes could still play, but he’d have a much, much harder time. I’d put an athlete on him and bye bye open jump shots. He’d have to work much harder to get open. [/QUOTE]
