Michael Kidd-Gilchrist has been tirelessly criticized for his shooting struggles since he was drafted into the NBA in 2012. The Charlotte Hornets drafted MKG second overall with hopes of him developing an extensive offensive game as he got more experience in the NBA. Now entering his fifth year in the league, many are expecting a jump in his performance.
Kidd-Gilchrist has shown that he can be one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA, an effective rebounder, and a threat to attack the basket. The only thing lacking in his game is an outside shot. It has been the one knock on his game since college and throughout his professional career.
