“Shooters aren’t born, they’re made.” It’s an often repeated trope, which tells us that with enough time in the gym, anyone can become a capable shooter. Unfortunately for Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and the Toronto Raptors, it’s not really true.
There’s no denying shooting is an acquired talent. Someone who’s never shot a basketball, or hasn’t done so extensively, probably isn’t going to be very good at it. However, there are also players, who no matter how hard they work, just can never seem to develop a jumpshot. To this point in his career, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has been one of those players.
