Donovan has been told for two years that part of his appeal at the next level in today's NBA is his ability to space the floor-make an occasional three-play defense and rim-protect. This year's UConn team was so efficient on offense that there was no need for Donovan to explore that shot in games. If you watch him in warmups/workouts/shooting drills/NBA tryouts- You can see that he has decent form -a good looking shot-with decent made percentages for a Big.

Had he been on a less efficient offensive team with a more willing HC (green light) Maybe he would have shot more of them. It remains to be seen whether that part of his game will be among his bag of tricks for the Blazers but it appears that Billups is more open-minded to the idea than Danny was. All of the young Bigs coming out of CBB want to be Jokic. LOL..Making threes or the threat of making threes opens up lanes for guards and wings to attack the hoop with the rim protector out of the lane. That's what Billups is excited about.
