I feel people underestimate how much work of a catch-&-shoot player is in an NBA game. Those guys still need to move and position themselves against NBA level defense just to catch and shoot.
China’s flaw is that their players lack the coaching of the US and they never face the same level of defense and size of NBA players. Even the “unathletic” guys of the NBA are still more athletic than most guys in other Leagues and they still need to move around just to get a good shot
Yeah there’s a reason Jimmer Fredette wasn’t a star in the NBA but was in China. Being a great shooter is meaningless if you can’t get off shots and/or the rest of your game isn’t at least decent.
