Do any of our basketball players have a shot at the NBA...

Not the way he shoots free throws, a guy that drives to the basket in the nba...has to be able to kill you at the line.

Rondo doesn't exactly light up the free throw line.

Payton is shooting about 70% from the line this year. Great improvement from last year when he was around 50%. I don't think he missed one last night.

Your talking an exception not the rule and if you really think elfrid is close to rondo??? Come on man

Haha I know it was a stretch in comparison, just had to throw that out there

payton will continue to improve his game
The difference in the player he was last year and this year are tremendous .
His free throw shooting will be around 85% come his senior year in my opinion, he is constantly working on it.
Elfrid established a 3 point shot this year, and although he is not consistent, that is another aspect of his game that will truly blossom just like it did for Bryant from his sophomore to junior year

Yep. And remember, he's only a sophomore. He can improve. Especially in an area like FT shooting.

Yep. And I believe he is still 18. I can only imagine how good he might be as a 20 year old senior.

It is extremely hard to earn a spot in the nba... Extremely

[SlappyCajun]

Elfrid is going to continue to improve. He missed every three he took last year. And, this year he is a 31% three point shooter.

Look at his stat line last night. He made every shot he took (from the field or the line), had seven assists, three rebounds, and four steals.

I was the guy that wasn't laughing but just didn't think that EP had a chance---I now think after the last games that he can do all the things to make it in the pros---BUT SHOOT---Man he can handle the ball, control the tempo, push the hell out of it, drive to the basket and finish, damn long arms to get steals, create passing lanes, see open guys, alley oop, and seems like a great kid---Was sitting with a track guru last night and he said that EP would be the guy he would take to make a vertical and horizontal jumper out of in that sport-----Whoever taught LaBAmba to shoot --please do it with EP!!!
