People laughed at me when I said Doc hire was good for the later part of Giannis career. I said, Doc's expertise in coaching bigs like Kevin Garnett and Joel Embiid, who have great midrange game would be beneficial. And Doc has been setting Giannis up to shoot jumpers at the elbow and high post and it has been a revelation. As of 21 games in to the season, Giannis is making 47.5% of his midrange on high volume.

Not sure how much you can credit Doc for that tbh. It’s not like they’re running different action for Giannis to get these shots, he’s just been more keen to take them. Maybe that is Doc encouraging him, but it could be a thing Giannis picked up on. It wasn’t hard to see if Giannis developed a decent jumper how much harder it’d be to guard him. There was a switch that flicked between the playoffs last season and the olympics, I’ll always give Giannis credit before Doc.
He’ll be the perfect coach when we win a championship 🙏
While I’m sure the Doc hire may have contributed the dismissal of shooting coach Oppenheimer last offseason also probably helped a bunch
so is this post about giannis or just u? u can pick up your validation stamp at walmart.
he was shooting midrange in the 21 finals 3 years ago
