Kofi showed last year he can shoot from 10-15’ he’s just not asked to very often because he shoots 67% within 2’ of the basket. He improved dramatically on FTs last year to the point where I felt very confident when he went to the line. However this year he’s been awful and was 0-6 last night.
Not sure if his ability to make the occasional 10-15 foot guarded shot disappeared along with his ability to make unguarded 15 footers, but seems logical. I don’t see him ever being asked to shoot much outside the paint in his time at IL because he is so dominant in the post. Thus he won’t be able to display that ability to scouts but I’m sure he works on it whenever possible because he’ll need to show it at the combine.
I’m not worried about Curbelo’s shot whatsoever. He’s gotten pretty close to automatic with that turnaround step back fade away shot. He’s gotten better finishing at the rim. He makes FTs. Some of his three pointers haven’t even been close...he’s 3-12 for the season but we don’t really need him taking that shot unless someone leaves him wide open. Like LK said, he at least forces the other team to guard him on the perimeter which opens up his ability to penetrate.
