I watched him play enough that he will see plenty of close outs to attack.  the guy shot 41% last year from 3 and over 50 in NCAA tourney.  Kid improved in this area rapidly and is more of a game day shooter atm.  Plenty to see here to be more than confident.  Hes no MKG from beyond the arc.

Edit:  his mechanics look fine.  shot in the mid 60% from the FT line while at duke despite improving to the mid 70s over the last 10 games.

mid 70s is pretty bad. 

how many 3's did he take a dook?

Winslow was a historically bad two point shooter.  Great three point shooter, but a large percentage of the threes he hit came from the left corner where he shot like 52% on attempts from there.  Think he'll end up a decent shooter.  But he's gonna be an elite slasher and impossible to stop in transition. He'll be good on D too.  Hate we passed up on him, but I think Frank will be good too

I hope that Frank works out for us, I am frustrated with the pick, but seeing as how I love the Hornets and won't love any other NBA team as much, I just hope for the best.  I hope he makes all the nay sayers eat their words even though I don't blame them for being upset.

mid 70 is not good but he displayed improvement.  Can't forget he was a college freshman just last year..  Kaminsky shoots in the mid 70s...

he took 110 3s last season.

Shooting may not be his calling card but he is definitely more than capable and is already showing measurable improvements.

Doesn't matter now.  We obviously liked Kaminsky better whether I or the majority of the fan base agree or not.  Winslow will be likely be giving us fits while at Miami tho..

MKG will drastically hinder Winslows slashing ability.

Al won't be here after next year and neither will Marvin Williams. And for those who think Kaminsky is a poor man's Zeller, Zeller has taken two three-pointers in two seasons. Frank shot 41% from three last year. He's not as afraid to take a shot, he's a pick-and-roll type who can consistently hit from mid range. As far as bigs, we don't have that outside of Marvin and Hawes, and at least one of those won't be here in 2016

      ESPN poised to buy NFL Network, RedZone

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      From the article: (A)ccording to sources briefed on negotiations, ESPN and the NFL are inside the 5-yard line on another ground-breaking deal for ESPN to acquire NFL Media, the arm of the league that focuses on content and runs the NFL Network. The deal, though different from the way the league and the all-sports network deepened their ties in 1987, comes as ESPN makes its programming available in a direct-to-consumer product this fall. ESPN is hyping this upcoming iteration as “The Next Era,” at a price of $29.99 per month. While a contract between ESPN and the NFL is not signed, the two sides have been closing in on talks that first began four years ago, heated up a little more than a year and half ago and now are the closest they have ever been, with the league even informing its owners they may be needed for a vote on it early next month, as first reported by Sports Business Journal.

      I don't want a random developmental QB as a backup.  I want someone young who people thought would be a franchise type QB and failed at first, looking for a second shot at redeeming himself in most scenarios.  Pending not a rookie or I got Mahomes or something.    Bryce is a year 3 QB and sort of in no man's land.  Think he deserves real comp sitting on his heals.  A guy that believes he could take the job if the opportunity ever arose and be the guy.
